Vimentin, an abundant cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein, is recognized for its
important role in stabilizing intracellular structure. Vimentin has been recognized for its …

The actin cytoskeleton and actin-dependent molecular and cellular events are responsible
for the organization of eukaryotic cells and their functions. Viruses, including severe acute …

Children infected with SARS-CoV-2 rarely progress to respiratory failure. However, the risk
of mortality in infected people over 85 years of age remains high. Here we investigate …

A variety of intracellular bacteria modulate the host cytoskeleton to establish subcellular
niches for replication. However, the role of intermediate filaments, which are crucial for …

Vimentin, a protein that builds part of the cytoskeleton and is involved in many aspects of
cellular function, was recently identified as a cell surface attachment site for the severe acute …

Emerging microbe infections, such as Zika virus (ZIKV), pose an increasing threat to human
health. Investigations on ZIKV replication have revealed the construction of replication …

Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein mediates docking of the virus onto cells prior to
viral invasion. Several cellular receptors facilitate SARS-CoV-2 Spike docking at the cell …

Simple Summary Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) expression in cancer cells is
significantly reduced and promoting cancer cells growth and invasiveness. Overexpresssion …

Damage in COVID-19 results from both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its triggered overactive
host immune responses. Therapeutic agents that focus solely on reducing viral load or …

Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament protein, widely expressed in mesenchymal cells.
Mainly located in the cytoplasm, vimentin can also appear at extracellular locations, where it …
