Most biological cells have a fixed place in an organism. However, cells can become mobile and move through the body. This happens, for example, during wound healing or when tumour cells divide ...

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 ...

In a pioneering study using advanced imaging techniques, including cryo-electron tomography (cryoET) and cryo-focused ion beam milling with scanning electron microscopy (cryoFIB-SEM), researchers at ...
