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 ...
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 ...
The expression of Smad interacting protein-1 (SIP1; ZEB2) and the de novo expression of vimentin are frequently involved in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) under both normal and ...
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 ...
Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth by increasing cancer stemness in an oestrogen independent manner. Targeting vimentin and/or the long ...
