Simple Summary Vimentin is an important filamentous protein providing structural and
functional support to the cell. During initial stages of cancer development, vimentin …

Across complex, multi-time and-length scale biological systems, redundancy confers
robustness and resilience, enabling adaptation and increasing survival under dynamic …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like DNA structures decorated with histones
and cytotoxic proteins that are released by activated neutrophils to trap and neutralize …

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 …

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is intrinsically linked to alterations of the
intracellular cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. After EMT, cells acquire an elongated …

Vimentin is an intermediate filament protein that plays key roles in integration of cytoskeletal
functions, and therefore in basic cellular processes such as cell division and migration …

Proper preimplantation development is essential to assemble a blastocyst capable of
implantation. Live imaging has uncovered major events driving early development in mouse …

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is primarily composed of networks of filamentous
proteins, F-actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Interactions among the …

In this work, we investigate whether stiffening in compression is a feature of single cells and
whether the intracellular polymer networks that comprise the cytoskeleton (all of which stiffen …

Nuclear lamins are type V intermediate filament proteins that polymerize into complex
filamentous meshworks at the nuclear periphery and in less structured forms throughout the …
