Viewpoint Cellular aggregates under pressure
It is widely accepted by now that the mechanical characteristics of cells and tissues play an important role in numerous biological processes, such as early morphogenesis [1, 2], signal transduction [3], cell adhesion [4], and even stem cell differentiation [5, 6]. In particular, it was suggested and experimentally demonstrated that a number of phenomena in embryonic tissues can be interpreted ...
متن کاملInterlocking of β-carotene in beta-lactoglobulin aggregates produced under high pressure.
Vitamin A deficiency is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in the developing World. This deficiency can be prevented by alimentary or pharmaceutical supplementation. However, both vitamin A oxidation and isomerization should be prevented, as these phenomenons result in loss of nutritional efficacy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a food protein matrix, β-l...

The movement of water by osmosis causes pressure differences that drive the transport of sugars over long distances in plants.

Abstract A variety of public campaigns, including the “Just Say No” campaign of the 1980s and 1990s that encouraged teenagers to “Just Say No to Drugs”, are based on the premise that teenagers are very susceptible to peer influences. Despite this, very little is known about the effect of school peers on the long-run outcomes of teenagers. This is primarily due to two factors: the absence of inf...
متن کاملSpreading dynamics and wetting transition of cellular aggregates.
We study the spreading of spheroidal aggregates of cells, expressing a tunable level of E-cadherin molecules, on glass substrates decorated with mixed fibronectin and polyethylene glycol. We observe the contact area by optical interferometry and the profile by side-view microscopy. We find a universal law of aggregate spreading at short times, which we interpret through an analogy with the spre...
