Microvillus Assembly

Microvillus Assembly is a structural biological process that belongs to the class of membrane-cytoskeleton interactions, specifically defined as the coordinated organization and stabilization of actin-based cytoskeletal filaments with apical membrane components to form finger-like cellular protrusions that enhance surface area and functional capacity of epithelial cells.
