Join us for our next #IBIwebinar by Dr. Bhuvanasundar Renganathan (@buvansr.bsky.social), Research Associate, Feinberg School of Medicine (@feinberg.northwestern.edu), Northwestern University, Chicago Title - "Dynamics of a “Non-Dynamic” Filament. Vimentin Intermediate Filaments in Motion"

Delight to see that our work on vimentin intermediate filament dynamics is part of JCB’s Special Collection: Intermediate Filaments 2025!!! Check it out: rupress.org/jcb/collecti... @jcb.org @nucdb.bsky.social @nu-bsa.bsky.social @hhmijanelia.bsky.social

📕 Our Intermediate Filaments collection explores recent advances in intermediate filament research, focusing on lamins, keratins and vimentin. Explore new and recent JCB studies to accompany this week's European Intermediate Filament Meeting 👉 rupress.org/jcb/collecti... #Euro-IF

🦠 New research led by @aaandmoore.bsky.social‬ @buvansr.bsky.social‬ @vgelfand.bsky.social‬ shows vimentin filaments that provide support & shape to cells are more independent & dynamic than previously thought, providing new insight into their role in cellular processes. 🔗 hhmi.news/4kEYZe2

Scientists in the Gelfand Lab (@vgelfand.bsky.social) have uncovered new details about the inner workings of some of the smallest filament cellular structures, according to a study published in the Journal of Cell Biology. @buvansr.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3p35jmp4

Happy to officially introduce FilaBuster - a strategy for rapid, light-mediated intermediate filament disassembly. Compatible with multiple IF types, modular in design, and precise enough to induce localized filament disassembly in live cells. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to see our work on #vimentin dynamics and organization sparking interest among researchers! Delighted to have it featured in @jcb.org with an insightful commentary by Prof. Stepen Klumpp & Komal Bhattacharyya. Grateful for their perspectives on our research!

Spotlight from Bhattacharyya and Klumpp: Combining two powerful imaging techniques, Renganathan et al. (rupress.org/jcb/article/...) provide unprecedented detail of the intermediate filament network in cells. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Cytoskeleton #Vimentin

Excited to share our work @jcb.org !!! We believe this is a key piece in the #vimentin & #IntermediateFilament field, highlighting its dynamic nature. This opens the door for exploring crosstalk with other cytoskeletal components!

Renganathan, Moor, @vgelfand.bsky.social et al. use single-particle tracking to show that #vimentin intermediate filaments display active movement throughout the cell, with individual filaments within a bundle moving independently rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Cytoskeleton #Microscopy

Challenging the view on #vimentin! our latest work shows VIF is an active, dynamic filament loosely held together rupress.org/jcb/article/... Thanks to @vgelfand.bsky.social @aaandmoore.bsky.social @nu-bsa.bsky.social @hhmijanelia.bsky.social @jcb.org #NUCDB #nikon #CrestOptics #livecellimaging
