A structural scaffolding of intermediate filaments in health and disease.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 23 Jan 1998

Fuchs E, Cleveland D W

Abstract excerpt

The cytoplasm of animal cells is structured by a scaffolding composed of actin microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Intermediate filaments, so named because their 10-nanometer diameter is intermediate between that of microfilaments (6 nanometers) and microtubules (23 nanometers), assemble into an anastomosed network within the cytoplasm. In combination with a recently identified class of...
