At physiological temperatures, cell membranes are fluid; at cooler temperatures, they become gel-like. Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe the membrane as a fluid mosaic ...

Here, the authors demonstrate that cells can spread and form mature integrin adhesions on fluid substrates by interacting with high-affinity Invasin ligands. CLDN11 is necessary for immunological ...

Cell membrane Selectively permeable double layer of lipid and protein molecules? All cell types ? Fluid enclosed by the cell membrane, containing organelles and ribosomes Location of many chemical ...

“Having access to the fetal tissue offers the possibility to model the fetal tissue while the baby is still in the womb,” said Mattia Gerli, a stem cell biologist at University College London (UCL) ...

The team gathered tissue-specific stem cells from amniotic fluid samples obtained during 12 routine prenatal screenings and found that they were naturally shed by the fetus during pregnancy.
