Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a diameter of only about 6 nm, and they are made of a protein called actin. Intermediate filaments, as their name suggests, are mid-sized, with a ...

Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an estrogen independent manner. Targeting vimentin and/or the long ...

Like other eukaryotic cells, neurons have a cytoskeleton that consists of three main polymers: microtubules (green), intermediate filaments (purple) and actin filaments (red). Microtubules emanate ...
