ZHU KAI, DONG YANG, WANG YABO, et al. Effects of Dehydration on Cytoskeleton. [J]. Journal of refrigeration, 2020, 41(4). DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0253-4339.2020.04.159.
Drastic changes in the surrounding environment have a certain effect on the inner regions of cells. In this study
the morphology of microfilaments in the cytoskeleton during dehydration is studied by Coomassie brilliant blue staining and digital image processing. By analyzing the gray-scale kurtosis of the processed image
it is observed that as the dehydration process progresses
the gray-scale image shows a decrease in dispersion
the skeleton morphology is looser
and a series of morphological changes are accompanied by depolymerization. Through quantitative calculation of the characteristic parameters of the image
it is inferred that the final relative rate of change of the skeleton under a continuous vacuum environment is 32.7%
and that under a continuous low temperature environment is 59%. Finally
a study on the degree of cell deformation shows that the dehydration process has a more significant effect on the cytoskeleton.
