Abstract:

We propose two systems of ordinary differential equations modeling the assembly of intermediate filament networks. The first one describes the in vitro intermediate filament assembly dynamics. The second one deals with the in vivo evolution of cytokeratin, which is the intermediate filament protein expressed by epithelial cells. The in vitro model is then briefly analyzed in a simplified case.
