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 …

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 …

Force exertion is an integral part of cellular behavior. Traction force microscopy (TFM) has
been instrumental for studying such forces, providing spatial force measurements at …

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 …

Recent developments in biomedical engineering have focused on designing smart and bio-
responsive materials. However, a critical step in designing this next generation of …

While cells within tissues generate and sense 3D states of strain, the current understanding
of the mechanics of fibrous extracellular matrices (ECMs) stems mainly from uniaxial, biaxial …

Endothelial cells respond to changes in subendothelial stiffness by altering their migration
and mechanics, but whether those responses are due to transcriptional reprogramming …

Cells living in geometrically confined microenvironments are ubiquitous in various
physiological processes, eg, wound closure. However, it remains unclear whether and how …

Mechanomedicine is an emerging field focused on characterizing mechanical changes in
cells and tissues coupled with a specific disease. Understanding the mechanical cues that …
