title: Intermediate filament-plasma membrane interactions.
abstract: In this review we will discuss the molecules involved in intermediate filament-desmosome and intermediate filament-hemidesmosome interactions, and the means by which certain of these molecules may bind to intermediate filaments. The possibility that intermediate filaments interact directly with peripheral membrane proteins and membrane lipids will also be addressed.
