In this regard, various polymers that form cell sheets in response to various stimuli such as temperature, pH, pressure, electric field, light, ions and special molecules have recently been investigated. However, the greatest research focus has currently been on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm...
Energy & Green Tech Soundwave recycling technology turns 'forever chemicals' into renewable resources A new technique that uses soundwaves to separate materials for recycling could help prevent potentially harmful chemicals leaching into the environment. May 6, 2025 0 29 Energy & Green Tech Plan...
Inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapses are the first synapse in the auditory system and can be degenerated by noise and aging, thereby leading to hidden hearing loss (HHL) and other hearing disorders. However, the mechanism underlying this cochlear synapt
The cytoskeleton is a complex network of interconnected biopolymers consisting of actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. These biopolymers work in concert to transmit cell-generated forces to the extracellular matrix required for cell
Samples were then dehydrated in an ethanol series infiltrated with TAAB Low Viscosity resin and polymerised for 24 h at 60 °C as thin layers on Alcar sheets. After polymerisation, Aclar sheets were peeled off and layers of polymerised resin with cells were re-embedded with the same resin ...
Additionally, in the reaction medium the nanoparticles perform as predictable identical catalysts, but after the reaction can be easily recovered [324,325,326]. CNT rolled up into a nanoscale are graphite sheets, having diameters range among fractions of nanometers and tens of nanometers and ...
(36 measurement spots/sample) using the GenePix Pro®microarray analysis software. Sugar binding specificities of the lectins were deduced from the manufacturer’s product sheets. The corresponding lectin names are available upon request. The specificity of the lectins for their glycotopes was ...
Overall, these strategies reduce the accumulation of incorrectly folded proteins in the ER, allowing equilibrium to be restored by adaptive and repair mechanisms. The UPR then turns off when the amount of incorrectly folded proteins decreases. Another important immediate effect of the UPR activation ...
In addition, there are nine cysteines in the chymotryptic fragment. Only six of them are involved in disulfide bonds, and the remaining cysteines are disordered [69,70]. The extended loop subdomain is located at the edge of the core and is formed by two-stranded β-sheets. In contrast,...
epithelial cells are tightly packed together in cell sheets, form covering on all internal and external surfaces of animal body, and make up lining of hollow organs. During early embryogenesis, pluripotent epiblast cells are considered as the earliest epithelial cells. Later, there are epithelial cel...
