| Abstract | Tiny fragments from the cytoplasm of human skin fibroblasts with about 2% of the original cell volume ('microplasts') were prepared by treatment with cytochalasin B, vigorous pipetting, and trypsinization of the attached fragments. They remained alive for 8 hr or longer. Some of the microplasts were able to produce and move filopodia, ruffle, or both; others blebbed continuously. Slow flattening was observed in the larger microplasts. In all cases tested, microplasts avoided contact with other cells or microplasts. The observations suggest that the cytoplasmic matrix and the membranes of animal cells are so constructed as to express locally and autonomously any one of the elementary amoeboid movements listed above. More importantly, whatever types of motile surface projections a microplast expressed, it continued to produce and move them in a stereotypical way as if there were long-lived structural or material determinants for each type. The microplasts were unable to locomote autonomously. Therefore, it is conceivable that directional movement of whole cells may require a supervising mechanism that confers a certain coordination and strategy on its component cytoplasmic bits. Otherwise they would continue to move in stereotypical and autonomous ways without ever displacing themselves, as suggested by the behavior of the microplasts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
