Intermediate Filaments

From previous volumes: 'The heterogeneity of topics ... is very ambitious, and the result is, overall, successful because of the high quality of the individual contributors.' American Scientist 'Well produced, well referenced and has a good index; it should become a standard reference work.' Analyst
