Reconstitution of intermediate-sized filaments from denatured monomeric vimentin
, 1981 Vimentin, a major cytoskeletal protein of many cells of mesenchymal tissues as well as of cultured cells of various kinds, is the constituent protein of a special class of intermediate-sized (7 to 11 nm) filaments.

Intermediate Filaments in Motion: Observations of Intermediate Filaments in Cells Using Green Fluorescent Protein-Vimentin [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 1999 In the movies presented in this essay we have demonstrated that IFs are dynamic in nature. Movements of IFs include both extension and retraction and are dependent on the presence of intact MTs. Furthermore, we have characterized a possible intermediate of IF turnover, IF fragments.

Intermediate Filaments at the Junction of Mechanotransduction, Migration, and Development
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2017 Mechanically induced signal transduction has an essential role in development. Cells actively transduce and respond to mechanical signals and their internal architecture must manage the associated forces while also being dynamically responsive.

Vimentin intermediate filaments undergo irreversible conformational changes during cyclic loading
, 2019 Intermediate filaments (IFs) are part of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells and, therefore, are largely responsible for the cell's mechanical properties.

Withaferin-A reduces type I collagen expression in vitro and inhibits development of myocardial fibrosis in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. Its excessive synthesis results in fibrosis of various organs. Fibrosis is a major medical problem without an existing cure.
