A lipid transfer protein ensures nematode cuticular impermeability
iScience, 2022 Summary: The cuticle of C. elegans is impermeable to chemicals, toxins, and pathogens. However, increased permeability is a desirable phenotype because it facilitates chemical uptake. Surface lipids contribute to the permeability barrier.

Fingertip skin models for analysis of the haptic perception of textiles [PDF]
, 2014 This paper presents finite element models of the fingertip skin which have been created to simulate the contact of textile objects with the skin to gain a better understanding of the perception of textiles through the skin, the so-called hand of textiles.

The Enigmatic Canal-Associated Neurons Regulate Caenorhabditis elegans Larval Development Through a cAMP Signaling Pathway. [PDF]
, 2019 Caenorhabditis elegans larval development requires the function of the two Canal-Associated Neurons (CANs): killing the CANs by laser microsurgery or disrupting their development by mutating the gene ceh-10 results in early larval arrest. How these cells

Melanophore migration and survival during zebrafish adult pigment stripe development require the immunoglobulin superfamily adhesion molecule Igsf11. [PDF]
, 2012 The zebrafish adult pigment pattern has emerged as a useful model for understanding the development and evolution of adult form as well as pattern-forming mechanisms more generally.

Tissue localization of betacyanins in cactus stems
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2012 Betalains are soluble pigments found only in the suborder Chenopodiniae, while in all other Angiospermae they are replaced by anthocyanins. The convergent evolution of the presence of anthocyanins and betalains in vegetative tissues supports the ...

Determination of Uniaxial Tensile Behavior of Hypodermis in Porcine Skin Based on Rule of Mixtures [PDF]
Archives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2019 In this study, we investigate the mechanical behavior of each skin layer, in terms of the nominal stress-strain curve by uniaxial tensile tests using specimens of porcine skin in two forms: dermis containing epidermis, and all three layers.

The C. elegans truncated insulin receptor DAF-2B regulates survival of L1 arrested larvae.
PLoS ONE, 2023 We have previously characterized a truncated isoform of the C. elegans insulin-like receptor, DAF-2B, which retains the ligand binding domain but cannot transduce a signal due to the absence of the intracellular signaling domain. DAF-2B modifies insulin /
