label: Tonofilament clumping
label_lc: tonofilament clumping
description: "Formation of lumps of tonofilaments, which are bundles of keratin filaments. In some but not all epithelia, keratin filaments are conspicuously bundled as tonofilaments. Inside the cell they braid the nucleus, span through the cytoplasm and are attached to the cytoplasmic plaques of the typical epithelial cell-cell junctions, the desmosomes."
