Cell-to-cell junctions were visualized by ZO1-GFP, and the dynamics of cell junctions were captured by movies. When the cells indicated by * were spontaneously stretched, a continuous belt of cell ...
In pink, wild type cells expressing gamma actin. In black, knock-out cells that do not express gamma actin. The yellowish lines reveal the tortuous nature of the junctions. Our skin and mucous ...
Our body consists of ~30 trillion cells. These cells need to tightly attach to each other to maintain the integrity of our body. However, we are constantly exposed to mechanical stress, which ...
“Collectively, these advancements offer ground-breaking insights into mitigating energy loss in perovskite solar cells,” said assistant professor Hou Yi (right). Image: NUS Researchers from the ...
An international group of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China developed a proof-of-concept tandem solar cell tandem solar cell for the first time by using antimony ...
Scientists led by Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have fabricated a perovskite-perovskite-silicon triple-junction solar cell with a new passivation strategy ...
Microscale 3D printed arches guide cells to form natural self-bonds, improving how soft tissue attaches to medical implants without added proteins. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Efforts to engineer reliable ...
Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...
