VOLUME 568. Intermediate Filament Proteins

"In all, IFs encompass 70 human genes, with >70 related human diseases (Omary, 2009; Szeverenyi et al., 2008), that include among them 54 functional human keratin genes (Schweizer et al., 2006)." "In reaching out to the outstanding group of authors who have published extensively in the area that they covered in their respective chapters, we had two primary goals in mind. First, we aimed to assemble a volume that serves the community of investigators at-large who are either working directly in the IF field or whose work is bringing them to the IF field. Second, we wanted to put together not only an update but also a somewhat unique volume, as compared with the most recent IF-related methods book that was published in 2004 (Methods in Cell Biology, Volume 78, edited by Bishr Omary and Pierre Coulombe)."
