The Mechanical Properties of Hydrated Intermediate Filaments: Insights from Hagfish Slime Threads

Intermediate filaments (IFs) impart mechanical integrity to cells, yet IF mechanics are poorly understood. It is assumed that IFs in cells are as stiff as hard α-keratin, F-actin, and microtubules, but the high bending flexibility of IFs and the low stiffness of soft α-keratins suggest that hydrated...
