• Structure and functions of keratin proteins in simple, stratified, keratinized and cornified epithelia (2009, background): “The heterodimers of keratins are still soluble in the cytoplasm but this solubility depends on the type of keratin and on the physicochemical characteristics of the cytoplasm (Herrmann & Aebi, 2004).”
• Keratin: Structure, mechanical properties, occurrence in biological organisms, and efforts at bioinspiration (2016, neutral): “a-keratin can only constitute its filamentous state through the coiled coil assembly and, heteropolymeric pair formation of type I and type II (1:1) protein molecules [19,54].”
• Astrocyte activation and reactive gliosis (2005, background): “In humans, 65 different IF proteins have been identified (Herrmann et al., 2003; Herrmann and Aebi, 2004), and there is a complex expression pattern of IF proteins specific for various cell types, differentiation stages, and functional states.”
• Intermediate filaments: from cell architecture to nanomechanics (2007, background): “Whereas both MTs and MFs are confined by and large to the cytoplasm, most metazoan cells contain two principally different IF systems: one inside the nucleus attached to the inner nuclear membrane, and one that is cytoplasmic, which connects intercellular junctional complexes situated at the plasma ”
