Vimentin intermediate filaments mediate cell morphology on viscoelastic substrates

M Swoger, S Gupta, EE Charrier, M Bates… - ACS applied bio …, 2022 - ACS Publications
The ability of cells to take and change shape is a fundamental feature underlying development,
wound repair, and tissue maintenance. Central to this process is physical and signaling …

Extracellular Vimentin as a Target Against SARS‐CoV‐2 Host Cell Invasion

Ł Suprewicz, M Swoger, S Gupta, E Piktel, FJ Byfield… - Small, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Infection of human cells by pathogens, including SARS‐CoV‐2, typically proceeds by cell
surface binding to a crucial receptor. The primary receptor for SARS‐CoV‐2 is the angiotensin‐…

Rab11 endosomes and Pericentrin coordinate centrosome movement during pre-abscission in vivo

N Krishnan, M Swoger, LI Rathbun… - Life science …, 2022 - life-science-alliance.org
The last stage of cell division involves two daughter cells remaining interconnected by a
cytokinetic bridge that is cleaved during abscission. Conserved between the zebrafish embryo …

Vimentin intermediate filaments can enhance or abate active cellular forces in a microenvironmental stiffness-dependent manner

F Alisafaei, K Mandal, M Swoger, H Yang, M Guo… - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
The mechanical properties of cells are largely determined by the cytoskeleton, which is a
complex network of interconnected biopolymers consisting of actin filaments, microtubules, and …

[PDF][PDF] Vimentin binds to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and antibodies targeting extracellular vimentin block in vitro uptake of SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles

L Suprewicz, M Swoger, S Gupta, E Piktel, FJ Byfield… - BioRxiv, 2021 - scienceopen.com
Infection of human cells by pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, typically proceeds by cell
surface binding to a crucial receptor. In the case of SARS-CoV-2, angiotensin-converting …

Computational investigation of material and dynamic properties of microtubules

MR Swoger - 2018 - rave.ohiolink.edu
Microtubules are an important component of the cytoskeleton of cells. They provide not only
structural support, but also connectivity between different regions of the cell. The motor …

Pulling and pushing on the nucleus: The role of vimentinin nuclear shape

M Swoger, D Conway, H Hehnly, A Patteson - Biophysical Journal, 2024 - cell.com
The cell nucleus holds the entire genomic information of an organism and is also the largest
and most rigid organelle of the cell. Vimentin is a type of intermediate filament protein, …

Rab11 endosomes coordinate centrosome number and movement following mitotic exit

N Krishnan, M Swoger, M Bates, J Freshour… - Biorxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
The last stage of cell division involves two daughter cells remaining interconnected by a
cytokinetic bridge that is cleaved in a process called abscission. During pre-abscission, we …

Vimentin intermediate filaments mediate cell shape on visco-elastic substrates

M Swoger, S Gupta, EE Charrier, M Bates, H Hehnly… - bioRxiv, 2020 - biorxiv.org
The ability of cells to take and change shape is a fundamental feature underlying development,
wound repair, and tissue maintenance. Central to this process is physical and signaling …

The role of vimentin in transmitting forces to the nucleus

M Swoger, D Conway, H Hehnly… - APS March Meeting …, 2023 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
The nucleus is the organelle of the cell responsible for controlling protein expression, which
has direct effects on cell mechanics. Vimentin is a type of intermediate filament, highly …
