Helical Superstructure of Intermediate Filaments [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2019 Intermediate filaments are the least explored among the large cytoskeletal elements. We show here that they display conformational anomalies in narrow microfluidic channels. Their unusual behavior can be understood as the consequence of a previously undetected, large scale helically curved superstructure.

Novel origin of lamin-derived cytoplasmic intermediate filaments in tardigrades
eLife, 2016 Intermediate filament (IF) proteins, including nuclear lamins and cytoplasmic IF proteins, are essential cytoskeletal components of bilaterian cells. Despite their important role in protecting tissues against mechanical force, no cytoplasmic IF proteins ...

Data-constrained Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation of an Intermediate Solar Filament Eruption
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Solar eruptive activities could occur in weak magnetic field environments and over large spatial scales, which are especially relevant to eruptions involving intermediate or quiescent solar filaments.

Intermediate Filaments: Vimentin Moves in [PDF]
Current Biology, 2002 Vimentin intermediate filaments move bi-directionally along microtubules in the cell. Recent work has identified the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein as the missing inward-directed motor that drives this movement.

Role of Intermediate Filaments in Vesicular Traffic
Cells, 2016 Intermediate filaments are an important component of the cellular cytoskeleton. The first established role attributed to intermediate filaments was the mechanical support to cells.

Epithelial Intermediate Filaments: Guardians against Microbial Infection?
Cells, 2016 Intermediate filaments are abundant cytoskeletal components of epithelial tissues. They have been implicated in overall stress protection. A hitherto poorly investigated area of research is the function of intermediate filaments as a barrier to microbial

Structure of the Intermediate Filament-Binding Region of Desmoplakin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Desmoplakin (DP) is a cytoskeletal linker protein that connects the desmosomal cadherin/plakoglobin/plakophilin complex to intermediate filaments (IFs).

Formation and large-scale patterns of filament channels and filaments [PDF]
, 2014 2015ASSL..415..355MThe properties and large-scale patterns of filament channels and filaments are considered. Initially, the global formation locations of filament channels and filaments are discussed, along with their hemispheric pattern.
