Abstract excerpt
The intermediate filament cytoskeleton is essential for the development and maintenance of normal tissue function. A number of diverse recent observations implicate these filament systems in sensing stress and protecting cells against its worst consequences. Cells expressing severely disruptive keratin mutations, characteristic of Dowling-Meara EBS, were previously reported to show elevated responses to...
