Since June 2013, Franziska Lautenschläger is a Junior-professor for Biophysics at the University of
the Saarland in Saarbrücken. However, the work presented in this article originates from her post-
doctoral studies at the Institut Curie in Paris. In future, her lab in Saarbrücken will be investigating
intermediate flaments in living cells. The lab is still looking for motivated students, if interested
please contact Franziska Lautenschläger directly under
