Desmin Modulates Muscle Cell Adhesion and Migration
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cellular adhesion and migration are key functions that are disrupted in numerous diseases. We report that desmin, a type-III muscle-specific intermediate filament, is a novel cell adhesion regulator.

Desmin variants: Trigger for cardiac arrhythmias?
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Desmin (DES) is a classical type III intermediate filament protein encoded by the DES gene. Desmin is abundantly expressed in cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells.

Desmin is not ubiquitously expressed in head and neck muscle fibers. [PDF]
J AnatDesmin is not ubiquitously expressed in human head and neck muscle fibers. A subset of fibers showed absent or very weak desmin immunoreactivity, with corresponding reduction or absence of desmin mRNA expression. Abstract Desmin, a major muscle‐specific intermediate filament protein, is widely regarded as a ubiquitous component of mature skeletal ...

A Rare Case of Coexisting Mutation in Desmin and Thioredoxin Reductase 2 Genes Causing Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
, 2023 Desmin (DES) maintains the overall structure of cardiomyocytes and cytoskeletal organization within striated muscle cells. Mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase 2 (TXNRD-2) is essential for mitochondrial oxygen radical scavenging.

Congenital sacrococcygeal rhabdomyosarcoma
African Journal of Paediatric Surgery, 2022 Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is one of the common malignant soft-tissue sarcomas affecting children. It originates from the embryonic mesenchyme precursor of striated muscle and is frequently seen in the head-and-neck region, genitourinary system and ...

Drosophila Nesprin-1 Isoforms Differentially Contribute to Muscle Function
Cells, 2021 Nesprin-1 is a large scaffold protein connecting nuclei to the actin cytoskeleton via its KASH and Calponin Homology domains, respectively. Nesprin-1 disconnection from nuclei results in altered muscle function and myonuclei mispositioning.
