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 ...
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 ...
Researchers have found that cells use a "low-pass filter" to ignore short-term physical stress while reacting to sustained ...
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 ...
Vimentin exhibits a complex pattern of developmental- and tissue-specific expression. Since it is aberrantly expressed in metastatic tumors, which have progressed through the epithelial–mesenchymal ...
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 ...
