The biology and function of fibroblasts in cancer
Nature Reviews Cancer, 2016Among all cells, fibroblasts could be considered the cockroaches of the human body. They survive severe stress that is usually lethal to all other cells, and they are the only normal cell type that can be live-cultured from post-mortem and decaying tissue.

Functional Molecular Crystals in Biology
Israel Journal of Chemistry, 2021AbstractHighly reflective crystals of small organic molecules are the functional materials in a wide variety of optical systems in animals. We present a perspective on this field of organic biomineralization and review evidence for the widespread distribution of organic crystals in animals.

Biology and function of hemidesmosomes
Matrix Biology, 1999Hemidesmosomes are cell-substratum adhesion sites that connect the extracellular matrix to the keratin cytoskeleton. Our knowledge of the function of these structures has greatly increased as a result of studies on patients with aberrant expression of hemidesmosome components and studies using targeted inactivation of mouse genes encoding these ...

The Biology of Sexual Function
Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1995This article provides a selective overview of the physiologic substrates of sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm, and reviews their changes with age. The effect of pharmacologic agents on sexual physiology is discussed, highlighting both the clinical significance and underlying neurophysiologic mechanisms of these agents.

The functional approach in biology
Biosystems, 1977The concepts of structural and functional approaches are analysed. The existence of a logical limit to the domain of applicability of the structural approach is indicated. Some sources of possible failure of the structural method in biology are pointed out.

Acta Biotheoretica, 1958
In this paper we intend to propose a definition of function in biology. First we delimitated the problem and pointed out that a definition must not be related to hypotheses such as the causal connexion between form and function, phylogenetics or evolution, but that only the existence of functions is to be considered. The elements to be expressed in the

The Biology of Neurotrophins: Cardiovascular Function
2014This chapter addresses the role of neurotrophins in the development of the heart, blood vessels, and neural circuits that control cardiovascular function, as well as the role of neurotrophins in the mature cardiovascular system. The cardiovascular system includes the heart and vasculature whose functions are tightly controlled by the nervous system ...

The Biology and Functions of Th22 Cells [PDF]
, 2014 T helper (Th) cells develop from naïve CD4(+) T cells under lineage-specific culture conditions and are nominated by their lineage-specific cytokines. Th22 cells, new players in adoptive immune responses, are identified by the production of interleukin (IL)-22.

Differentiation
Fibroblast growth factor 12 (FGF12) belongs to the fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHF) subfamily, which is also known as the FGF11 subfamily. The human FGF12 gene is located on chromosome 3 and consists of four introns and five coding exons. Their alternative splicing results in two FGF12 isoforms - the shorter 'b' isoform and the longer '

An overview of microRNAs: Biology, functions, therapeutics, and analysis methods
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2018MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs, which function in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. They are powerful regulators of various cellular activities including cell growth, differentiation, development, and apoptosis ...
