As a member of the large family of intermediate filaments (IFs), vimentin has emerged as a
highly dynamic and versatile cytoskeletal protein involved in many key processes of wound …

Vimentin expression contributes to cellular mechanoprotection and is a widely recognized
marker of fibroblasts and of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. But it is not understood how …

Migrasomes are recently discovered vesicle-like structures on retraction fibers of migrating
cells that have been linked with transfer of cellular contents, shedding of unwanted …

The viscoelastic parameters of the cell can report on the cell state, cellular processes and
diseases. Cell mechanics strongly rely on the properties of the cytoskeleton, an important …

Although metastasis is the leading cause of cancer deaths, it is quite rare at the cellular
level. Only a rare subset of cancer cells (~ 1 in 1.5 billion) can complete the entire metastatic …

One of the important directions in the development of modern medical devices is the search
and creation of new materials, both synthetic and natural, which can be more effective in …

Desmin intermediate filaments (IFs) play an important role in maintaining the structural and
functional integrity of muscle cells. They connect contractile myofibrils to plasma membrane …

Background and objective Titanium wear particles may participate in the etiology of peri‐
implantitis. However, the influence of titanium wear particles on biological behavior of …

ABSTRACT The Rac1–WAVE–Arp2/3 pathway pushes the plasma membrane by
polymerizing branched actin, thereby powering membrane protrusions that mediate cell …

Intermediate filaments (IFs) perform a diverse set of well‐known functions including
providing structural support for the cell and resistance to mechanical stress, yet recent …
