Biomedical engineers have developed a silk-based, ultrathin membrane that can be used in organ-on-a-chip models to better mimic the natural environment of cells and tissues within the body. When used ...
Long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) cross the plasma membrane via a protein-mediated mechanism involving one or more LCFA-binding proteins. Among these, FAT/CD36 has been identified as key LCFA transporter ...
Basement membrane, a specialized ECM that underlies polarized epithelium of eumetazoans, provides signaling cues that regulate cell behavior and function in tissue genesis and homeostasis. A collagen ...
Our body is held together with tissues that connect different structures of the body together. Tissues and muscles need to be aligned in a way that there is no discrepancy in the outcomes of activity ...
Acidification of intracellular compartments by the vacuolar-type H+-ATPases (VHA) is known to energize ion and metabolite transport, though cellular processes influenced by this activity are poorly ...
Newly developed technique uses a multifunctional periodontal membrane which is surgically inserted into the pocket between affected gums and tooth Periodontitis, a serious //gum disease that often ...
EDISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MTF Biologics, a global nonprofit organization that saves and heals lives by honoring donated gifts and advancing the science of tissue transplantation, today announced ...
In their new study, the LJI scientists are the first to show that GPR25 is induced by a signaling molecule called TGF-β.
A septate uterus is when a thin tissue membrane, called the septum, runs down the middle of the uterus (womb) and divides it into two separate parts. This condition occurs when the baby is developing ...
