abstract = {For decades, researchers have been trying to unravel one of
the key questions in cell biology regarding keratin
intermediate filament function in protecting epithelial
cells against mechanical stress. For many different reasons,
however, this fundamental hypothesis was still unproven.
Here we answer this pivotal question by the use of keratin
KO cells lacking complete keratin gene clusters to result in
total loss of keratin filaments. This lack significantly
softens cells, reduces cell viscosity, and elevates plastic
cell deformation on force application. Reexpression of
single keratin genes facilitates biomechanical
complementation of complete cluster loss. Our manuscript
therefore makes a very strong case for the crucial
contribution of keratins to cell mechanics, with
far-reaching implications for epithelial pathophysiology.},
