Disruption of muscle architecture and myocardial degeneration in mice lacking desmin.
Desmin, the muscle specific intermediate filament (IF) protein encoded by a single gene, is expressed in all muscle tissues. In mature striated muscle, desmin IFs surround the Z-discs, interlink them together and integrate the...

To address the long-known relationship between supernumerary centrosomes and cancer, we have generated a transgenic mouse that permits inducible expression of the master regulator of centriole duplication, Polo-like-kinase-4...
