New publication on PRX about assembly of vimentin intermediate filament limited by fragmentation and entanglement

We show by experiment and Monte-Carlo simulation that vimentin intermediate filaments can fragment without additional co-factors or post-translational modifications. The filament fragmentation and entanglement saturate the filament length.
