Intermediate Filaments as Organizers of Cellular Space: How They Affect Mitochondrial Structure and Function

open access: yesCells, 2016
Intermediate filaments together with actin filaments and microtubules form the cytoskeleton, which is a complex and highly dynamic 3D network. Intermediate filaments are the major mechanical stress protectors but also affect cell growth, differentiation,

Planck intermediate results. VIII. Filaments between interacting clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
About half of the baryons of the Universe are expected to be in the form of filaments of hot and low density intergalactic medium. Most of these baryons remain undetected even by the most advanced X-ray observatories which are limited in sensitivity to ...

Role of Intermediate Filaments in Vesicular Traffic

open access: yesCells, 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.

Structural heterogeneity of cellular K5/K14 filaments as revealed by cryo-electron microscopy

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Keratin intermediate filaments are an essential and major component of the cytoskeleton in epithelial cells. They form a stable yet dynamic filamentous network extending from the nucleus to the cell periphery, which provides resistance to mechanical ...

Hierarchical Structure Controls Nanomechanical Properties of Vimentin Intermediate Filaments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Intermediate filaments (often abbreviated as IFs), in addition to microtubules and microfilaments, are one of the three major components of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells (Figure 1).

Ndel1 promotes axon regeneration via intermediate filaments. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Failure of axons to regenerate following acute or chronic neuronal injury is attributed to both the inhibitory glial environment and deficient intrinsic ability to re-grow. However, the underlying mechanisms of the latter remain unclear.

Automated and semi-automated enhancement, segmentation and tracing of cytoskeletal networks in microscopic images: A review

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
Cytoskeletal filaments are structures of utmost importance to biological cells and organisms due to their versatility and the significant functions they perform.

Effect of age and cytoskeletal elements on the indentation-dependent mechanical properties of chondrocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Articular cartilage chondrocytes are responsible for the synthesis, maintenance, and turnover of the extracellular matrix, metabolic processes that contribute to the mechanical properties of these cells.

Classical and quantum filaments in the ground state of trapped dipolar Bose gases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We study by quantum Monte Carlo simulations the ground state of a harmonically confined dipolar Bose gas with aligned dipole moments, and with the inclusion of a repulsive two-body potential of varying range.

Isolation of a new high molecular weight protein associated with desmin and vimentin filaments from avian embryonic skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Filaments with a diameter of 80-120 Å have been prepared from 14-d-old chick embryonic skeletal muscle, using a physiological salt solution and gel filtration chromatography.
