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 ...

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

Experimental study of a three dimensional cylinder-filament system
, 2015 This experimental study reports on the behavior of a filament attached to the rear of a three- dimensional cylinder. The axis of the cylinder is placed normal to a uniform incoming flow and the filament is free to move in the cylinder wake.

Mechanical properties of branched actin filaments
, 2015 Cells moving on a two dimensional substrate generate motion by polymerizing actin filament networks inside a flat membrane protrusion. New filaments are generated by branching off existing ones, giving rise to branched network structures.

Compare and contrast the reaction coordinate diagrams for chemical reactions and cytoskeletal force generators. [PDF]
, 2013 Reaction coordinate diagrams are used to relate the free energy changes that occur during the progress of chemical processes to the rate and equilibrium constants of the process.
