Evolution likes to borrow. It can take an already-successful biological structure and alter it until it serves a new function. Two independent groups studying the proteins that organize gut microvilli ...

Brush border microvilli are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area of cells and carry out a wide variety of functions, including absorption, secretion and cellular ...

The ocular surface is a frequent target tissue of mucosal chronic GVHD (cGVHD). We investigated the histopathological features of the conjunctival microvilli in patients with cGVHD. Conjunctival ...

Every cell lining the small intestine bristles with thousands of tightly packed microvilli that project into the gut lumen, forming a brush border that absorbs nutrients and protects the body from ...

It may contain inaccuracies due to the limitations of machine translation. Discovery of Cdc42 protein's role as an 'immune antenna' regulator opens doors for next-generation immunotherapies. The ...

Recent studies used impression cytology with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study the conjunctival surface of bovine eyes and normal human eyes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ...

In a just released article in the Journal of Molecular Recognition, Dr. Hermann Schillers et al. report the first visualization of individual microvilli on living cells with atomic force microscopy.
