Intermediate filaments: primary determinants of cell architecture and plasticity.

The Journal of clinical investigation - 1 Jul 2009

Herrmann Harald, Strelkov Sergei V, Burkhard Peter, Aebi Ueli

Abstract excerpt

Intermediate filaments (IFs) are major constituents of the cytoskeleton and nuclear boundary in animal cells. They are of prime importance for the functional organization of structural elements. Depending on the cell type, morphologically similar but biochemically distinct proteins form highly viscoelastic filament networks with multiple nanomechanical functions. Besides their primary role in cell plasticity and...
