摘要：

Phase transition and coexistence are lilt observed to define behaviors and enable advances in a variety of areas. We show that alterations in the cell structure for actin cytoskeleton produces distinct phases based on changes in the thermal environment. These studies suggest that the entire cell as well as subcellular regions may have distinct phases or patterns that retain a reversible equilibrium directly related to the thermal environment.
