Metastatic Leiomyosarcoma Involving Bone and Kidney in an Adult Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)
A 2‐year‐old male budgerigar presents with swelling of the medial left leg. Soft tissue neoplasia is suspected after empirical treatment fails. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry (α‐SMA and desmin positivity, vimentin negativity) confirm leiomyosarcoma, with metastasis to bone and kidneys. This case documents uncommon metastatic spread in an avian

Versatility of vimentin assemblies: From filaments to biomolecular condensates and back
Cytoskeletal structures shape and confer resistance to cells. The intermediate filament protein vimentin forms versatile structures that play key roles in cytoskeletal crosstalk, in the integration of cellular responses to a variety of external and ...

Abstract Vascular expansive remodeling is involved in atherosclerosis/restenosis; however, its mechanisms need further investigation. Protein‐disulfide isomerase (PDIA1), a redox chaperone from the endoplasmic reticulum and cell surface, supports vascular smooth muscle mechanoadaptation.

Vimentin intermediate filament assembly is a reversible process
Networks of intermediate filaments (IF) need to constantly reorganize to fulfill their functions at different locations within the cell. IF assembly results from end-to-end annealing, which is commonly assumed to be irreversible. By contrast, the mechanisms involved in IF disassembly are far less understood.

Synthesis and post-translational assembly of intermediate filaments in avian erythroid cells: Vimentin assembly limits the rate of synemin assembly [PDF]
The assembly of vimentin intermediate filaments and the high molecular weight filament crosslinking protein, synemin, was studied in erythroid cells from 10-day chicken embryos.
