Cadherin function: Breaking the barrier
Three desmoglein isoforms collaborate with desmocollins to build the adhesive core of desmosomes. A recent study has shown that altering the ratio of desmoglein isoforms influences epidermal barrier function, suggesting distinct roles for these cadherins that extend beyond adhesion.
متن کاملBreaking the VE-cadherin bonds.
Exchanges between the blood compartment and the surrounding tissues require a tight regulation by the endothelial barrier. Recent reports inferred that VE-cadherin, an endothelial specific cell-cell adhesion molecule, plays a pivotal role in the formation, maturation and remodeling of the vascular wall. Indeed, a growing number of permeability inducing factors (PIFs) was shown to elicit signali...
متن کاملBreaking the Screen Barrier
This thesis is based on an important development in human-computer interface design: the move from primarily screen-based interfaces – based on the Windows-Icons-Menus-Pointer (WIMP) and Graphical Users Interfaces (GUI) paradigm developed for desktop computers – to computer interfaces which take advantage of the richness of the user’s physical environment. A common thread in the thesis is the a...
متن کاملBreaking the Pixel Barrier
The majority of the current advances in computer graphic rendering strive for fast and realistic creation of pixel images, e. g., for the film and gaming industry. This development, unfortunately, leads to various problems due to limitations of pixel images, in particular, when they are not used for screen viewing. Thus, in this paper we argue for the placement of greater emphasis on the genera...
متن کاملBreaking the Time Barrier
If time is n-dimensional continuous, n > 4, time has a physical meaning independent of space. We construct a theory, precisely supported by WMAP observational evidence and consistent with special relativity and quantum field theory, that gives time an active role in the cosmology and selforganized sustainability of the universe. Our complex system model finds that a precise dimension limit, d=1...
