Intermediate Filaments and Polarization in the Intestinal Epithelium
The cytoplasmic intermediate filament cytoskeleton provides a tissue-specific three-dimensional scaffolding with unique context-dependent organizational features.

Using Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching data to uncover filament dynamics.
Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) has been extensively used to understand molecular dynamics in cells. This technique when applied to soluble, globular molecules driven by diffusion is easily interpreted and well understood.

The Biological Role of Nestin(+)-Cells in Physiological and Pathological Cardiovascular Remodeling
The intermediate filament protein nestin was identified in diverse populations of cells implicated in cardiovascular remodeling. Cardiac resident neural progenitor/stem cells constitutively express nestin and following an ischemic insult migrate to the ...

Fragmentation and Entanglement Limit Vimentin Intermediate Filament Assembly
Networks of intermediate filaments (IFs) need to constantly reorganize to fulfil their functions at different locations within the cell. The mechanism of IF assembly is well described and involves filament end-to-end annealing.

Regulation of microtubule-associated motors drives intermediate filament network polarization
Intermediate filaments (IFs) are key players in the control of cell morphology and structure as well as in active processes such as cell polarization, migration, and mechanoresponses.

The desmoplakin–intermediate filament linkage regulates cell mechanics
Desmoplakin connects desmosomal core components to intermediate filaments at sites of cell–cell adhesion. Modulating the strength of this linkage using desmoplakin mutants led to alterations in cell–substrate and cell–cell forces and cell stiffness as ...

Immunohistochemical Detection of Intermediate Filament Nestin
Using Rat-401 monoclonal antibody and peroxidase immunohistochemistry we have detected IF nestin in developing and adult rat tissues. Although epitope recognized by Rat-401 antibody is relatively resistant to aldehyde f ixation and paraffin embedding ...

Intermediate filament structure
In a previous communication (Biosci. Rep. 3, 517–525, 1993) we described quantitative X-ray diffraction studies of α-keratin which were shown to be consistent with the presence of finite arrays of repeating units, successive arrays being set down at axial intervals of 470 Å.
