Negative tension controls stability and structure of intermediate filament networks [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Networks, whose junctions are free to move along the edges, such as two-dimensional soap froths and membrane tubular networks of endoplasmic reticulum are intrinsically unstable.

Intermediate Filament Diseases: Desminopathy [PDF]
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 2008 Desminopathy is one of the most common intermediate filament human disorders associated with mutations in closely interacting proteins, desmin and alphaB-crystallin. The inheritance pattern in familial desminopathy is characterized as autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive, but many cases have no family history.

Current Biology, 2021 Cell morphology, architecture and dynamics primarily rely on intracellular cytoskeletal networks, which in metazoans are mainly composed of actin microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments (IFs). The diameter size of 10 nm - intermediate between the diameters of actin microfilaments and microtubules - initially gave IFs their name. However,

Plasticity of intermediate filament subunits. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Intermediate filaments (IFs) assembled in vitro from recombinantly expressed proteins have a diameter of 8-12 nm and can reach several micrometers in length. IFs assemble from a soluble pool of subunits, tetramers in the case of vimentin.

FEBS Open Bio, 2023 Filensin and phakinin are lens fiber cell‐specific proteins that constitute the beaded filaments (BFs) that are critical for maintaining lens transparency. In the Shumiya cataract rat, filensin 94 kDa undergoes N‐ and C‐terminal proteolytic processing to
