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

Role of the gp85/trans-sialidases in Trypanosoma cruzi tissue tropism: preferential binding of a conserved peptide motif to the vasculature in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 BACKGROUND: Transmitted by blood-sucking insects, the unicellular parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas' disease, a malady manifested in a variety of symptoms from heart disease to digestive and urinary tract dysfunctions.

Role of Intermediate Filaments in Blood–Brain Barrier in Health and Disease
Cells, 2021 The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective cellular monolayer unique to the microvasculature of the central nervous system (CNS), and it mediates the communication of the CNS with the rest of the body by regulating the passage of molecules into ...

Homologous Recombination under the Single-Molecule Fluorescence Microscope [PDF]
, 2019 Homologous recombination (HR) is a complex biological process and is central to meiosis and for repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Although the HR process has been the subject of intensive study for more than three decades, the complex protein–protein ...

Keratin 76 is required for tight junction function and maintenance of the skin barrier. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Keratins are cytoskeletal intermediate filament proteins that are increasingly being recognised for their diverse cellular functions. Here we report the consequences of germ line inactivation of Keratin 76 (Krt76) in mice.

Vimentin filaments are assembled from a soluble precursor in avian erythroid cells [PDF]
, 1983 The synthesis and assembly of vimentin was studied in erythroid cells from 10-d-old chicken embryos. After various periods of [35S]methionine incorporation, cells were lysed in a Triton X-100-containing buffer and separated into a soluble and an ...
