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

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 neuroepithelial stem cell protein, or Nestin, is a cytoskeletal intermediate filament
initially characterized in neural stem cells. However, current extensive evidence obtained in …

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 …

Simple Summary Cell migration is an essential process from embryogenesis to cell death.
This is tightly regulated by numerous proteins that help in proper functioning of the cell. In …

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

Astrocytes are the most prevalent glial cells in the brain. Historically considered as “merely
supporting” neurons, recent research has shown that astrocytes actively participate in a …

There are many unanswered questions on the relation of intraocular pressure to glaucoma
development and progression. IOP itself cannot be distilled to a single, unifying value …

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is primarily composed of networks of filamentous
proteins, F-actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Interactions among the …

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 …
