Abstract The fractal property of the cytoskeleton in the living cells is investigated. Based on the experimental data of intracellular particle movement, the self-similarity of the cytoskeleton in the living cells is observed and the fractal dimensions of different parts of the cytoskeleton determined by means of line-segment method vary from 1.35 to 2. The Quasi-Brownian movements of intracellular particles are clearly shown.
