    Glossary Intermediate Filaments

    structural proteins in cells providing mechanical support and stability

    Intermediate filaments are a type of structural protein found within cells that help maintain their shape and integrity. They are part of the cytoskeleton, which also includes microtubules and actin filaments, and they provide mechanical support to cells, enabling them to withstand stress and strain.
