Expressed abundantly and differentially, intermediate filaments provide each cell type with a unique cytoskeletal architecture, thereby providing a mechanism for cell-type-specific cytoskeletal ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins, and it provides mechanical support to the cell and its cytoplasmic constituents. All cytoskeletons consist of three major classes ...

Biologists have found a unique version of a filament-forming protein in human cells that insects lack. Providing structural support and protection against such conditions as blistering, cataracts and ...

Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an estrogen independent manner. Targeting vimentin and/or the long ...

This is a site to keep an eye on, despite the fact that (while writing this) the homepage flashed the disclaimer that the page is “currently undergoing radical software updates.” Curated by the Centre ...
