Membrane-tethered mucins are large glycoproteins present in the glycocalyx along the apical surface of all wet-surfaced epithelia of the body, including th... B Govindarajan,IK Gipson - 《Experimental Eye Research》 被引量: 265发表: 2010年 Nanoscale technology of mucoadhesive interactions Nanoscale ...
Therefore, we developed an air-liquid interface culture system for differentiated porcine respiratory epithelial cells to study the effect of virus-induced cellular damage. In our well-differentiated cells, α2,6-linked sialic acid is predominantly expressed on the apical surface and the basal cells ...
The surface membrane of epithelial cells, including the liver, is organized into two major domains, apical (or bile canalicular) and the basolateral (or sinusoidal) (Simons and Fuller, 1985). These surface membrane domains are responsible for vectorial transport, secretion and uptake (or ...
The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) plays an important role in the homeostasis of blood pressure and of the airway surface liquid, and inappropriate regulation of ENaC results in refractory hypertension (in Liddle syndrome) and impaired mucociliary clearance (in cystic fibrosis). The regulation of...
What is the function of microvilli and cilia located on the apical surface of epithelium? Why do children tend to have high-pitched voices, and why do males typically have lower voices than females do? What function does the cerebellum have?
This early study combines electrophysiology with biophysical modelling to show that voltage attenuation in pyramidal neurons is high, not due to passive membrane properties but because of the higher density of non-uniformly distributed conductances in the distal apical dendrites.

The crystal structures of two β-expansins have been solved (Protein Data Bank codes 2HCZ and 1N10), showing them to consist of two compact domains, D1 and D2, tightly packed onto each other with an open, highly conserved surface spanning the two domains. This putative polysaccharide ...
The blood-testis barrier (BTB), formed between adjacent Sertoli cells, undergoes extensive remodeling to facilitate the transport of preleptotene spermatocytes across the barrier from the basal to apical compartments of the seminiferous tubules for further development and maturation into spermatozoa. The ...

The ureides allantoin, ornithine, arginine and uric acid did not interfere with urea determinations, however, other ureides were not tested. Collection of xylem bleeding sap Stems of barley plants were cut approx. 10 mm above the hypocotyl before the cut surface was rinsed with bidistilled ...
