Abstract excerpt
The intermediate filament cytoskeleton is thought to confer physical resilience on tissue cells, on the basis of extrapolations from the phenotype of cell fragility that results from mutations in skin keratins. There is a need for functional cell assays in which the impact of stress on intermedia...
