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

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process during which cells lose their epithelial
characteristics, for instance apical–basal cell polarity and cell–cell contact, and gain …

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 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 …

Microtubule-associated protein, Tau has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease for its
detachment from microtubules and formation of insoluble intracellular aggregates within the …

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 …

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 …
