Intermediate filaments: New insights are bublin up

Curr Biol. 2021 Jun 7;31(11):R719-R721. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2021.04.031.ABSTRACTCytoplasmic intermediate filaments affect cell shape and tissue integrity, and mutations in the proteins that make up these filaments contribute to many human diseases. A new study has identified a conserved protein, BBLN-1/bublin, that is important for intermediate filament organization.PMID:34102119 | DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2021.04.031
