Within multicellular organisms, cells build connections with each other forming cell layers that cover the surfaces of tissues and organs and separate structures in the body. For example, the skin ...

Angiogenesis is essential for growth of new blood vessels, remodeling existing vessels, and repair of damaged vessels, and these require reorganization of endothelial cell–cell junctions through a ...

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory have fabricated a III-V gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cell based on a substrate made of spalled GaAs. The cost of ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) envelope (E) protein has a C-terminus with a PDZ binding motif (PBM) that targets PDZ (PSD-95/Dlg/ZO ...

A combination of bioengineering techniques on normal cell binding proteins could be the method of the future for selective cell binding. Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF ...

The molecular mechanisms of how primordial adherens junctions (AJs) evolve into spatially separated belt-like AJs and tight junctions (TJs) during epithelial polarization are not well understood.

Developmental biologists have discovered that during egg development in fruit flies, intercellular gaps open between epithelial cells in a controlled way at the points where three cells meet. This ...

The triple-junction solar cell is based on indium gallium phosphide (InGaP), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and Germanium (Ge) and is made with a micro-grating made of glass, consisting of a two-dimensional ...

Neuromuscular diseases are caused by problems in the way muscle cells, motor neurons, and peripheral cells interact. Researchers from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz ...
