Intermediate Filaments: Vimentin Moves in [PDF]
Vimentin intermediate filaments move bi-directionally along microtubules in the cell. Recent work has identified the microtubule motor cytoplasmic dynein as the missing inward-directed motor that drives this movement.

Vimentin and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human breast cancer : observations in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Breast cancer is a highly prevalent disease among women worldwide. While the expression of certain proteins within these tumours is used for prognosis and selection of therapies, there is a continuing need for additional markers to be identified.

Site-Specific Labeling of Proteins with Near-IR Heptamethine Cyanine Dyes
Convenient labeling of proteins is important for observing its function under physiological conditions. In tissues particularly, heptamethine cyanine dyes (Cy-7) are valuable because they absorb in the near-infrared (NIR) region (750⁻900 nm) where ...

Roles of vimentin in health and disease
More than 27 yr ago, the vimentin knockout (Vim−/−) mouse was reported to develop and reproduce without an obvious phenotype, implying that this major cytoskeletal protein was nonessential. Subsequently, comprehensive and careful analyses have revealed numerous phenotypes in Vim−/− mice and their organs, tissues, and cells, frequently reflecting ...

Vimentin supports mitochondrial morphology and organization [PDF]
Vimentin is one of the intermediate filaments that functions in structural support, signal transduction and organelle positioning of a cell. In the present study, we report the contribution of vimentin in mitochondrial morphology and organization.
