Mechanotransduction is the process by which physical forces are sensed and converted into
biochemical signals that then result in cellular responses. The discovery and development of …

How thermal, mechanical and chemical stimuli applied to the skin are transduced into
signals transmitted by peripheral neurons to the CNS is an area of intense study. Several …

The keratinocyte growth and differentiation switch, tightly regulated by several mechanisms,
is generally associated with decreased proliferation, cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and …

In this study, different plasma-activated liquids were evaluated for their antimicrobial effects
against Escherichia coli, as well as for their cytotoxicity on mammalian cells. The PALs were …

In the current study, we aimed at identifying the functional role of transient receptor potential
vanilloid-3 (TRPV3) ion channel in the regulation of human hair growth. Using human organ …

Finite disarrangements of important (vital) physiological agents and nutrients can induce
plethora of beneficial effects, exceeding mere attenuation of the specific stress. Such …

OBJECTIVE: With the development of engineered cartilage, the determination of the
appropriate culture conditions is vital in order to maximize extracellular matrix synthesis. As …

Cell swelling as a result of hypotonic stress is counteracted in mammalian cells by a process
called regulatory volume decrease (RVD). We have recently discovered that RVD of human …

The molecular pathways underlying tumor suppression are incompletely understood. Here,
we identify cooperative non-cell-autonomous functions of a single gene that together …

The euryhaline fish, the spotted scat (Scatophagus argus), is exceptional for its ability to
tolerate rapid fluctuations in salinity. To better understand fish osmoregulation and enable …
