Intermediate filaments (IFs) are critical parts of the structure of cells. They are essential for both normal tissue structure and function. Enabling cells to withstand the stretch and pressure on the ...
Intermediate filaments are a type of cytoskeletal filaments characterised by their intermediate diameter compared to actin filaments and microtubules. Different types of intermediate filaments are ...
Expressed abundantly and differentially, intermediate filaments provide each cell type with a unique cytoskeletal architecture, thereby providing a mechanism for cell-type-specific cytoskeletal ...
How intermediate filaments polymerize and assemble in vivo is largely unknown. Now, a study reveals that this assembly is regulated by sumoylation of the cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein B-1A ...

Nature: Keratin-associated protein 5-5 controls cytoskeletal function and cancer cell vascular invasion
(Nanowerk Spotlight) In animal cells, the well known cytoskeletal proteins actin microfilaments and microtubules are accompanied by a third filament system that in humans consist of a family of more ...
Maintaining the shape of the cell, creating proper internal structure, guiding organelles and pulling chromosomes apart during mitosis are some of the important functions of the cytoskeleton. The ...
