An improved model of the Pacinian corpuscle includes corrections for lamellar curvature. Results suggest that outer-zone lamellae produce a focusing effect whereby stimuli are channeled radially ...

The deformations of individual lamellae obtained in normal and inverted vessel segments were averaged to determine their extensions independent of location. Results showed that the extensibilities of ...

Hoof care is one of the most important elements of horse care and keeping them sound and well, from the moment they are a ...

Here, we’ll explore the inside of the duck’s mouth and learn more about their bills and what they use them for. Then, we’ll check out their gizzard and find out just why ducks eat rocks. We’ll go over ...

Thin lamellae (<150 nm) were critical for achieving high image quality. The prepared lamellae were then transferred to a cryo-electron microscope, where tilt-series were collected using a ...

Figure 1. Overview of intact spinach chloroplasts visualized by cryo-ET. A) Tomographic slice through an intact spinach chloroplast. B) Corresponding 3D segmentation of the volume. Characteristic ...

Nup358-positive annulate lamellae (AL) structures are present at ER-mitochondria contact sites (ERMCSs). Nup358 restricts growth factor mediated stabilization of ERMCSs by modulating mTORC2/Akt/GSK3β ...

Following a cross-disciplinary investigation, the team found that the stem root separates into approximately 40-50 sheets known as lamellae that interlock with the living tissue, creating an ...

Hummingbirds are an enigma, with their astonishing speed, varied body sizes, agile mobility, and astounding memory. One of its most unique traits, however, is the method that they use to eat and drink ...

Studying the quantity and orientation of quartz lamellae, the team explains, allows geologists to draw conclusions about the nature of the impact — for example, what kind of pressure the ...

A swan’s beak is made up of a basal knob, the swan’s nares, upper and lower mandibles, a thin, keratinized layer, a serrated, comb-like lamellae, and a nail. The swan’s beak is long and flattened.
