Intermediate filaments are a type of cytoskeletal filaments characterised by their intermediate diameter compared to actin filaments and microtubules. Different types of intermediate filaments are ...

Just as the skeleton and muscles move the human body and hold its shape, the cells of the body are stabilized and moved by a cellular skeleton. This cellular skeleton is a dynamic structure, ...

Expressed abundantly and differentially, intermediate filaments provide each cell type with a unique cytoskeletal architecture, thereby providing a mechanism for cell-type-specific cytoskeletal ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In animal cells, the well known cytoskeletal proteins actin microfilaments and microtubules are accompanied by a third filament system that in humans consist of a family of more ...
