Abstract
The fine structure of a human medulloblastoma cell strain characterized by the emission of two types of cytoplasmic processes was studied with particular regard to the cytoskeleton organization of the cell processes. A particular abundance of intermediate filaments (6-11 nm) was found in the primary processes. This study suggests that this abundance can strongly condition the cell shape of in vitro medulloblastoma cells and can represent a marker of this type of cells.
