With the widespread use of specific antibodies, high-resolution microscopy techniques, and other advanced techniques, it has become evident that the differential amount and forms of vimentin and auto-antibodies to vimentin are present in the bronchoalveolar lavages, cells, and lung tissues from patients with various lung diseases demonstrating the pivotal role of vimentin in their pathogenesis (Rho et al., 2009; Wahlstrom et al., 2009; Li et al., 2017a; Musaelyan et al., 2018; Surolia et al., 2019; Zaccardelli et al., 2019; Li et al., 2021; Zaccardelli et al., 2021). The gene discussed is VIM; the disease is lung disorder.
