Abstract
The human cytoskeleton consists of three major classes of filaments: microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. Here, we summarize recent progress in deciphering the structure and function of intermediate filaments and their implications for human disease.
期刊介绍:
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a comprehensive platform that combines structural and molecular research. Our journal focuses on exploring the functional and mechanistic aspects of biological processes, emphasizing how molecular components collaborate to achieve a particular function. While structural data can shed light on these insights, our publication does not require them as a prerequisite.
