The applications of hydrogels have expanded significantly due to their versatile, highly
tunable properties and breakthroughs in biomaterial technologies. In this review, we cover …

Cell migration is a highly dynamic process driven by the cytoskeleton, which mainly
comprises the actin microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. During …

Astrocytes are neural cells of ectodermal, neuroepithelial origin that provide for homeostasis
and defense of the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes are highly heterogeneous in …

The cytoskeleton plays an integral role in maintaining the integrity of epithelial cells.
Epithelial cells primarily employ cytokeratin in their cytoskeleton, whereas mesenchymal …

Vimentin has been shown to be involved in wound healing, but its functional contribution to
this process is poorly understood. Here we describe a previously unrecognized function of …

Simple Summary The epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a well-documented
process in the study of cancer metastases. The cytoskeleton is an intricate network involved …

Smooth muscle cell migration has been implicated in the development of respiratory and
cardiovascular systems; and airway/vascular remodeling. Cell migration is a polarized …

Vimentin is a protein that has been linked to a large variety of pathophysiological conditions,
including cataracts, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV and cancer. Vimentin has also …

Vimentin, a major constituent of the intermediate filament family of proteins, is ubiquitously
expressed in normal mesenchymal cells and is known to maintain cellular integrity and …

Vimentin, an abundant cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein, is recognized for its
important role in stabilizing intracellular structure. Vimentin has been recognized for its …
