Lens intermediate filaments [PDF]
Experimental Eye Research, 2009 The ocular lens assembles two separate intermediate filament systems sequentially with differentiation. Canonical 8-11 nm IFs composed of Vimentin are assembled in lens epithelial cells and younger fiber cells, while the fiber cell-specific beaded filaments are switched on as fiber cell elongation initiates.

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

Hundred Thousand Degree Gas in the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies [PDF]
, 2012 The physical relationship between low-excitation gas filaments at ~10^4 K, seen in optical line emission, and diffuse X-ray emitting coronal gas at ~10^7 K in the centers of many galaxy clusters is not understood.

Computational and theoretical modeling of intermediate filament networks: Structure, mechanics and disease [PDF]
, 2016 Intermediate filaments, in addition to microtubules and actin microfilaments, are one of the three major components of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells.

Chirality of Intermediate Filaments and Magnetic Helicity of Active Regions
, 2009 Filaments which form either between or around active regions (ARs) are called intermediate filaments. In spite of various theoretical studies, the origin of the chirality of filaments is still uncovered.

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.

Cooperativity and Frustration in Protein-Mediated Parallel Actin Bundles
, 2009 We examine the mechanism of bundling of cytoskeletal actin filaments by two representative bundling proteins, fascin and espin. Small-angle X-ray studies show that increased binding from linkers drives a systematic \textit{overtwist} of actin filaments ...

Isolation and primary cultures of human intrahepatic bile ductular epithelium [PDF]
, 1988 A technique for the isolation of human intrahepatic bile ductular epithelium, and the establishment of primary cultures using a serum- and growth-factor-supplemented medium combined with a connective tissue substrata is described.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the thermal condensation caused by a massive object that passes through the interstellar medium with high velocity, and propose a mechanism for creating a filamentary gaseous object, or interstellar contrail.
