Intermediate filaments and stress.

Abstract excerpt

Before we can explain why so many closely related intermediate filament genes have evolved in vertebrates, while maintaining such dramatically tissue specific expression, we need to understand their function. The best evidence for intermediate filament function comes from observing the consequences of mutation and mis-expression, primarily in human tissues. Mostly these observations suggest that intermediate...
