Vimentin and Anti Vimentin Antibodies in Chagas' Disease
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2018 Background: Vimentin is a main structural protein of the cell, a component of intermediate cell filaments and immersed in cytoplasm. Vimentin is mimicked by some bacterial proteins and anti-vimentin antibodies occur in autoimmune cardiac disease, as ...

Vimentin in Bacterial Infections [PDF]
Cells, 2016 Despite well-studied bacterial strategies to target actin to subvert the host cell cytoskeleton, thus promoting bacterial survival, replication, and dissemination, relatively little is known about the bacterial interaction with other components of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Zonula occludens 2 and Cell-Cell Contacts Are Required for Normal Nuclear Shape in Epithelia
Cells, 2021 MAGUK protein ZO-2 is present at tight junctions (TJs) and nuclei. In MDCK ZO-2 knockdown (KD) cells, nuclei exhibit an irregular shape with lobules and indentations.
