Everything in nature has a geometric pattern—from the tiger's stripes and spirals in flowers to the unique fingerprints of ...

A team of chemists at the University of Cambridge has developed a powerful new method for adding single carbon atoms to ...

Developed through research at ETH Zurich and presented at the Canada Pavilion as part of the 19th International Architecture ...

The brain's complexity stems from evolutionary layering—new functions built atop ancient foundations, resulting in a tangled and historical structure akin to London’s streets.

Structure of a cilium of the green alga Clamydomonas reinhardtii (tomographic segmentation): the cilium is covered by a protein layer (FMG 1). Underneath lies the inner glycocalyx and the ciliary ...

This protective sheath, called the glycocalyx, consists of sugar-rich proteins (glycoproteins). As the first contact to the environment, it determines how cells adhere to surfaces, move and sense ...

This protective sheath, called the glycocalyx, consists of sugar-rich ... However, its exact structure was previously unknown. The research team has now mapped the structure of this layer in ...

The research, led by Stanford Bio-X Graduate Fellow Sophia Shi, focused on how the glycocalyx affects the blood-brain barrier—a protective structure that filters harmful substances from ...

In a study in aging mice, Shi has uncovered striking age-related changes in the sugary coating – called the glycocalyx – on cells that form the blood-brain barrier, a structure that protects the brain ...

The glycocalyx layer (purple, left ... As a result of these dense side chains, mucin-domain glycoproteins develop a “bottlebrush” structure (image above). The age-related drop in O-glycosylation ...
