Intermediate filaments

In addition to providing intracellular support, intermediate filaments are also associated with some adherent intercellular junctions. These adherent junctions provide cell-to-extracellular matrix attachment in the form of hemidesmosomes (left) and cell-to-cell attachments in the form of desmosomes (right). 30,000x, 70,000x
