#laminin — Public Fediverse posts

Next time a Christian brings up the cruciform *illustrative* structure of laminin, show them that of the (extremely toxic) methanol. 💁🧑‍🏫🧑‍🔬

How is cell basal geometry is regulated during epithelial #morphogenesis? @PichaudLab &co show that a pathway involving #laminin & #integrin adhesion coordinates remodelling of #EpithelialCell shape by patterning their basement membrane #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4e457co

Katajisto &co show that laminin matrix adhesion regulates basal mammary epithelial cell identity: https://journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/135/23/jcs260232/285829/Laminin-matrix-adhesion-regulates-basal-mammary

I came across this #microscopy paper. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-022-01519-4
"By blue-shifting the #STED beam and separating #fluorophores by on/off switching, individual fluorophores bound to a #DNA strand are localized with σ = 4.7 Å, corresponding to a fraction of the fluorophore size, with only 2,000 detected #photons ."
This image showing resolution below the size of the fluorophore leaves me speechless.
The paper features images of #DNAorigami, #NuclearPores, synaptic #Vesicles, #ECM (#laminin) and #vilmentin
