Epitaxially Grown Collagen Fibrils Reveal Diversity in Contact Guidance Behavior among Cancer Cells
Invasion of cancer cells into the surrounding tissue is an important step during cancer progression and is driven by cell migration. Cell migration can be random, but often it is directed by various cues such as aligned fibers composed of extracellular matrix (ECM), a process called contact guidance. During contact guidance, aligned fibers bias migration along the long axis of the fibers. These...
متن کاملEpitaxially grown GaAsN random laser
We have studied the photoluminescence properties of as-grown GaAs12xNx epitaxial layers grown on GaAs containing 0.6%, 1.77%, and 2.8% nitrogen. We found laser emission from thick (d .200 nm! GaAs0.972N0.028 layers exhibiting the characteristic lasing properties of random lasers. This is unusual because random lasers have so far only been associated with highly disordered or random media. We be...
متن کاملProbing solvent accessibility of amyloid fibrils by solution NMR spectroscopy.
Amyloid is the result of an anomalous protein and peptide aggregation, leading to the formation of insoluble fibril deposits. At present, 18 human diseases have been associated with amyloid deposits-e.g., Alzheimer's disease and Prion-transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies. The molecular structure of amyloid is to a large extent unknown, because of lack of high-resolution structural informat...
متن کاملNucleation of amyloid fibrils.
We consider nucleation of amyloid fibrils in the case when the process occurs by the mechanism of direct polymerization of practically fully extended protein segments, i.e., beta-strands, into beta-sheets. Applying the classical nucleation theory, we derive a general expression for the work to form a nanosized amyloid fibril (protofilament) constituted of successively layered beta-sheets. Analy...
متن کاملShapes of Epitaxially Grown Quantum Dots
A variational model introduced by Spencer and Tersoff (Appl. Phys. Lett. 96:073114, 2010) to describe optimal faceted shapes of epitaxially deposited films is studied analytically in the case in which there are a non-vanishing crystallographic miscut and a lattice incompatibility between the film and the substrate. Existence of faceted minimizers for every volume of the deposited film is establ...
