| Abstract: | Imagine swallowing a substance which suddenly causes your entire skeleton to collapse in on itself: all your bones squashed and squeezed together in the most unnatural positions. What a tragedy that would be! Luckily, such a toxin does not exist for humans, but it does at the cellular level. In fact, I (Tymoteusz Piasecki) together with my colleagues, supervised by Prof. Zenon Rajfur and his Ph.D. students at the Jagiellonian University of Kraków in Poland, focused on the effects of such a toxin (Cytochalasin D) on cells.
