The establishment of apical–basal polarity within a single cell and throughout a growing tissue is a key feature of epithelial morphogenesis. To examine the underlying mechanisms, the human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 was grown in a three-dimensional matrix to generate a cystlike...
Current concepts of cell migration were established in regular two-dimensional (2D) cell culture, but the roles of topography are poorly understood for cells migrating in an oriented 3D fibrillar extracellular matrix (ECM). We use a novel micropatterning technique termed microphotopatterning...
Chemoattractant signaling induces the polarization and directed movement of cells secondary to the activation of multiple effector pathways. In addition, chemotactic signals can be amplified and relayed to proximal cells via the synthesis and secretion of additional chemoattractant. The...
Analyzing the structure of complex networks like the US Aviation System can be very difficult, but one way to simplify this problem is to consider only the flights on the shortest routes from one specific airport to every other. For each airport, this gives us a different perspective on the...
The video is based on an experiment of a Plant physiology course (HORT301) for Horticulture and Biology students. It is a student production geared towards middle school, highschool students and undergraduates as well as viewers who are interested in plant science. It depicts how flower pigments...
The video PSI – Are my soybeans wearing different genes? is inspired by the popular TV show “CSI-crime scene investigations”. Here, however, the investigators are solving cases in the field of plant science investigations (PSI). The stunning phenomenon that soybean plants can survive...
