Pathophysiological Role of Vimentin Intermediate Filaments in Lung Diseases [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Vimentin intermediate filaments, a type III intermediate filament, are among the most widely studied IFs and are found abundantly in mesenchymal cells. Vimentin intermediate filaments localize primarily in the cytoplasm but can also be found on the cell ...

Vimentin intermediate filaments stabilize dynamic microtubules by direct interactions [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 The tasks of the cytoskeleton depend on the fine-tuned interplay between the three filamentous components: actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.

Unidirectional Regulation of Vimentin Intermediate Filaments to Caveolin-1 [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Both the mechanosensitive vimentin cytoskeleton and endocytic caveolae contribute to various active processes such as cell migration, morphogenesis, and stress response. However, the crosstalk between these two systems has remained elusive. Here, we find

Vimentin Intermediate Filaments Maintain Membrane Potential of Mitochondria in Growing Neurites [PDF]
BiologyNeural precursor cells contain two types of intermediate filaments (IFs): neurofilaments consisting of three IV type proteins and vimentin belonging to the type III IF proteins that disappear at the later stages of differentiation.

Plasma Membrane Blebbing Is Controlled by Subcellular Distribution of Vimentin Intermediate Filaments [PDF]
CellsThe formation of specific cellular protrusions, plasma membrane blebs, underlies the amoeboid mode of cell motility, which is characteristic for free-living amoebae and leukocytes, and can also be adopted by stem and tumor cells to bypass unfavorable ...

Crosstalk between vimentin and keratins in viral infection: Implications across the viral life cycle [PDF]
VirulenceIntermediate filaments (IFs) have long been regarded as a static scaffold responsible for maintaining cellular structure and integrity. However, recent studies have revealed that IFs, particularly vimentin and keratin, exert a profound and versatile ...
