Intermediate filaments, along with microtubules, microfilaments and septins, comprise the cytoskeleton that provides cells with structure and shape. The cytoskeleton is known to participate in the organelle localization and signal transduction. Auto... Read More about The role of the cytoskeleton in autophagy and Crohn's disease.

Journal Article
Biskou, O., Casanova, V., Hooper, K., Kemp, S., Wright, G. P., Satsangi, J., …Stevens, C. (2019). The type III intermediate filament vimentin regulates organelle distribution and modulates autophagy. PLOS ONE, 14(1), Article e0209665. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0209665

The cytoskeletal protein vimentin plays a key role in positioning of organelles within the cytosol and has been linked to the regulation of numerous cellular processes including autophagy, however, how vimentin regulates autophagy remains relatively...
