In this review, we briefly describe the biological characteristics, composition, and uptake mechanisms of EVs ... including changes in lipid composition, actin-myosin contraction, and external signals ...

the other mechanism will still be running to ensure that blood vessels form," notes Phng. More information: Igor Kondrychyn et al, Combined forces of hydrostatic pressure and actin polymerization ...

Nipple stimulation is predicated on the known mechanism of action of oxytocin ... The increased intracellular calcium then acts to stimulate contraction of the myometrial cells, ultimately ...

Journaling, grounding techniques, moving more, and meditation are some of the techniques that can help you reduce and manage anxiety symptoms. Stress is the body’s natural response to a real or ...

In this study, we demonstrated novel functions for the TRPV4 channel in homeostatic and pathological IOP regulation by uncovering the mechanisms through which reciprocal TRPV4-TGFb2 interactions ...

The latter includes providing a “platform” for coagulation (exposing phosphatidylserine, PS, on the lipid bilayer), promoting coagulation reactions through the release of coagulation factors, and ...

Although the previous school of thought centers around cGMP pathways, calcium handling, and antioxidant capacity, new evidence illuminates excitation–contraction coupling and myofilament function as ...

5 MSEK from the Swedish National Space Agency for his project investigating the mechanisms behind the changes in the skeletal muscle and the immune system induced by the lack of gravity.
