High stretchability, strength, and toughness of living cells enabled by hyperelastic vimentin intermediate filaments

In many developmental and pathological processes, including cellular migration during normal development and invasion in cancer metastasis, cells are required to withstand severe deformations. The structural integrity of eukaryotic cells under small deformations has been known to depend on the cytos...
