Intermediate filaments (IFs) are assembled from fibrous ... Although 'plastic dish' cell biology has elucidated many interesting features of desmin IFs, a more profound understanding has been ...

As the group reports in The Journal of Chemical Physics, from AIP Publishing, they applied and then extended a model of active filaments that includes these frictional hydrodynamic interactions ...

Remarkable progress has been made in understanding how filament systems function, although in most cases, the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Structural biology, cryo-electron tomography of ...

Cells exist in three dimensions, and they have a dynamic skeleton and filaments that help them maintain and stabilize their form and structure. The molecules that create the cellular cytoskeleton, ...
