EBMD is a disorder of the basal epithelial cells located in the front part of the cornea. These basal cells stick to the second membrane layer, also referred to as Bowman's layer. In EBMD, the basal ...

Due to the established solvatochromism of Reichardt’s dye, we interpreted the observed shifts as indicating a change in the polarity of the solvent under vibrational strong coupling (VSC) and that the ...

The protein factories of our cells are much more diverse than we thought they were. Scientists have now shown that cancer cells can use these so-called ribosomes to boost their invisibility cloak ...

But far less is known about how cells and molecules stand up to the squeezing, crushing weight of thousands of feet of seawater. “The animals that live down in the deep sea are not ones that ...

Cell polarity plays a fundamental role across all eukaryotic organisms, serving as a critical mechanism to initiate developmental patterns and guide cell behaviors in physiological processes. In the ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. Wang, Po-Kai, et al., utilized the de novo polarization of MDCK ...

(G) Change in polarity index over time ... Centrosome position relative to the cytokinesis site in polarized epithelial sheets (A) Experimental design: Aphidicolin (Aphi)-treated cells (synchronized ...

Cell polarity plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of various cell types, including epithelial cells and neurons. The processes of sorting, transporting, anchoring, and fusing protein and ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...
