Author response: Intermediate filament network perturbation in the C. elegans intestine causes systemic dysfunctions

Abstract

Aberrant cytoskeletal intermediate filament networks in the C. elegans intestine are associated with hyperphosphorylated intermediate filament proteins and impact not only intestinal cell structure but have also detrimental consequences for organismal well-being.
