Characterization of Vimentin-Immunoreactive Astrocytes in the Human Brain
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020 Astrocytes are commonly identified by their expression of the intermediate filament protein glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). GFAP-immunoreactive (GFAP-IR) astrocytes exhibit regional heterogeneity in density and morphology in the mouse brain as ...

The Diversity of Intermediate Filaments in Astrocytes
Cells, 2020 Despite the remarkable complexity of the individual neuron and of neuronal circuits, it has been clear for quite a while that, in order to understand the functioning of the brain, the contribution of other cell types in the brain have to be accounted for.

Vimentin: Regulation and pathogenesis
Biochimie, 2022 Vimentin, an abundant cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein, is recognized for its important role in stabilizing intracellular structure. Vimentin has been recognized for its mechanical role in cell plasticity and stress absorbers. Additionally, the functions of vimentin, similar to all other cytoplasmic intermediate filaments, are correlated to ...

Phosphorylation by Cdk1 induces Plk1-mediated vimentin phosphorylation during mitosis [PDF]
, 2005 Several kinases phosphorylate vimentin, the most common intermediate filament protein, in mitosis. Aurora-B and Rho-kinase regulate vimentin filament separation through the cleavage furrow-specific vimentin phosphorylation.

A novel presentation of cutaneous angiosarcoma: A case report and review
Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, 2017 We report a case of a 70-year-old male, with slowly widening induration, ulceration, and oozing for 3 months on the scalp and face. The diagnosis of aggressive cutaneous angiosarcoma was made on histopathology and immunochemistry from the biopsy material
