On day 3 and it's a battle, reminding me of the fragility of health and the importance of connection. Here's to hoping I'm coming round to the home stretch.
Continuous self-repair protects vimentin intermediate filaments from fragmentation
Significance
Intermediate filaments such as vimentin are key contributors to cell mechanics. These filaments are continuously assembled and disassembled by the cell as it grows and moves. While the assembly process is relatively well characterized, here we investigate their much less understood disassembly.
