A recent study has found that extracellular vimentin can bind to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein in vitro, and antibodies against vimentin can decrease ...

Credit: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2025). DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2418624122 Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, ...

Binge drinking is known to increase the risk of developing dementia and/or brain damage. A new study used rodents to test markers of neurodegeneration to determine a threshold for brain damage. The ...

A recent iScience journal study reports that cell-surface vimentin functions as a co-receptor for the entry of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) into host cells to ...

The entry of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) into human cells is an essential step for virus transmission and development of COVID 19. Although the lung epithelial cells ...

In this report I describe a new protein, defined by a monoclonal antibody, which is associated with vimentin filaments in a variety of cultured cells and in skeletal muscle. By immunofluorescence it ...

Vimentin is an intermediate filament that regulates cell attachment and subcellular organization. In this study, vimentin filaments were morphologically altered, and its soluble subunits were rapidly ...

Prognostic classifier for stage II gastric cancer based by support vector machine. Irinotecan/mitomycin C (IRI/MMC) combination as second-line chemotherapy in patients with metastaic gastric carcinoma ...

Just as the human body has a skeleton to give it structure and support, a cell has a cytoskeleton to give it shape and stability. Some of the main structures that make up a cell’s cytoskeleton are ...
