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, ...

Vimentin intermediate filaments are generally present in mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is found not only in eukaryotic cells, but also in bacteria, where it helps to form the cytoskeleton. Vimentin is ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . NEW ORLEANS — Increased vimentin at the time of retinal detachment repair may help predict later development of ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are three main kinds of cytoskeletal filaments: microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments in Eukaryotic cells. Intermediate filaments help to provide structure to cells, and are ...
