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 …

Intermediate filaments (IFs) formed by vimentin are less understood than their cytoskeletal
partners, microtubules and F‐actin, but the unique physical properties of IFs, especially their …

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 …

Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that is frequently
associated with food-borne infection. Of particular concern is the ability of L. monocytogenes …

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 …

Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) normally colonizes healthy adults
but can cause invasive disease, such as meningitis, in the newborn. To gain access to the …

Following injury, mesenchymal repair cells are activated to function as leader cells that
modulate wound healing. These cells have the potential to differentiate to myofibroblasts …

Intermediate filaments (IF) are a major component of the metazoan cytoskeleton and are
essential for normal cell morphology, motility, and signal transduction. Dysregulation of IFs …

Intermediate filaments (IFs) play key roles in cell mechanics, signaling and homeostasis.
Their assembly and dynamics are finely regulated by posttranslational modifications. The …

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common viral infection of the reproductive
tract, with virtually all cases of cervical cancer being attributable to infection by oncogenic …
