Super‐Resolution Microscopy: Hypotonic Stress Induces Fast, Reversible Degradation of the Vimentin Cytoskeleton via Intracellular Calcium Release (Adv. Sci. 18/2019)

In article number 1900865, Ke Xu and co‐workers report, through super‐resolution microscopy, an unexpected, fast degradation pathway of the vimentin cytoskeletal system under hypo‐osmotic stress. Together with calcium imaging and biochemical analysis, the study further unveils that this degradation...

Sumario:In article number 1900865, Ke Xu and co‐workers report, through super‐resolution microscopy, an unexpected, fast degradation pathway of the vimentin cytoskeletal system under hypo‐osmotic stress. Together with calcium imaging and biochemical analysis, the study further unveils that this degradation is due to proteolysis by the calcium‐dependent protease calpain, activated by hypotonic stress‐induced calcium release from intracellular stores.
