Abstract excerpt
Desmin, the most abundant intermediate filament in cardiomyocytes, plays a key role in maintaining cardiomyocyte structure by interconnecting intracellular organelles, and facilitating cardiomyocyte interactions with the extracellular matrix and neighboring cardiomyocytes. As a consequence, mutations in the desmin gene (DES) can lead to desminopathies, a group of diseases characterized by variable and often...
