Epithelial cells have cytokeratin, mesenchymal cells and other cells have vimentin, muscle cells have desmin, nerve cells have neurofilament protein, and glial cells have glial cell-specific filament protein, which form the intermediate filaments of each cell type. The mesh structure of the intermediate filaments first forms a cage-like structure that surrounds the nucleus, and on the other hand, forms a mesh structure that runs like a hook from the attachment point on the cell membrane to the attachment point on the distant cell membrane. …
