Expression of vimentin intermediate filaments in epithelial cells promotes cell migration and cell matrix interaction in 3D

2025-09-19

Abstract excerpt

During a variety of physiological and pathological processes, such as development, wound healing, and tumor progression, epithelial cells collectively invade into their surroundings. Vimentin intermediate filaments (VIFs) are often observed to play a role in the epithelial cells located at the margins of 2D cultures. However, their role in 3D collective cell behavior remains underexplored. Here, we investigate how...
