Nestin is a type VI intermediate filament protein, expressed mostly in nerve cells where they are implicated in the radial growth of the axon. Nestin has recently received attention as a marker for detecting newly formed endothelial cells. A recent study in the journal Oncogene shows, that diminished integrin expression in astrocytoma cells can lead to a reduced TGFbeta receptor signaling in tumor-associated endothelial cells. The anti-nestin antibody utilized in this study is available on antibodies-online.
