Experimental work of the last two decades has revealed the general steps of the wound
healing process. This complex network has been organized in three sequential and …

The skin, acting as the outer protection of the human body, is most vulnerable to injury.
Wound healing can often be impaired, leading to chronic, hard-to-heal wounds. For this …

The pH value in the wound milieu plays a key role in cellular processes and cell cycle
processes involved in the process of wound healing. Here, a microfluidic assembly …

Wound healing is a multistep process with four overlapping but distinct stages: hemostasis,
inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. An alteration at any stage may lead to the …

Increasing lines of evidence show that the malignant behavior of cancer is not exclusively
attributable to cancer cells but also radically influenced by cancerous stroma activity and …

The vimentin gene (VIM) encodes one of the 71 human intermediate filament (IF) proteins,
which are the building blocks of highly ordered, dynamic, and cell type-specific fiber …

The cytoskeleton plays an integral role in maintaining the integrity of epithelial cells.
Epithelial cells primarily employ cytokeratin in their cytoskeleton, whereas mesenchymal …

Intermediate filaments constitute the third component of the cellular skeleton. Unlike actin
and microtubule cytoskeletons, the intermediate filaments are composed of a wide variety of …

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

Vimentin is a protein that has been linked to a large variety of pathophysiological conditions,
including cataracts, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV and cancer. Vimentin has also …
