Cell migration is a highly dynamic process driven by the cytoskeleton, which mainly
comprises the actin microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. During …

Living cells are constantly exposed to mechanical stimuli arising from the surrounding
extracellular matrix (ECM) or from neighboring cells. The intracellular molecular processes …

The cytoskeleton of animal cells is one of the most complicated and functionally versatile
structures, involved in processes such as endocytosis, cell division, intra-cellular transport …

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 …

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are one of the three major elements of the cytoskeleton. Their
stability, intrinsic mechanical properties, and cell type–specific expression patterns …

The BioID method uses a promiscuous biotin ligase to detect protein–protein associations
as well as proximate proteins in living cells. Here we report improvements to the BioID …
