Cellular signaling mediated by Notch receptors results in coordinated regulation of cell growth, survival and differentiation. In melanocytes, Notch signaling is essential for the maintenance of melanocytes and the melanocyte stem cell population. Whereas, ...
In this paper a nano-molding process using a nature-created master is demonstrated. The eye of night moth Agotis exclamationis having 100 nm-scale structures on a curved surface is used as biomimetic master mold from which nanostructures are replicated ont ...
The Notch signaling pathway is an ubiquitous cell-cell interaction mechanism, which is essential in controlling processes like cell proliferation, cell fate decision, differentiation or stem cell maintenance. Recent data have shown that Notch signaling is ...
A broad and constantly growing class of diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, sickle-cell or cataract, involves protein association phenomena as an essential aspect. The common denominator of all the members of this class of molecular condensation disease ...
We show that digital holography can be combined easily with optical coherence tomography approach. Varying the reference path length is the means used to acquire a series of holograms at different depths, providing after reconstruction images of slices at ...
A new holographic technique combining digital holographic microscopy with the use of low coherence light has been developed and the potential of the resulting method for vision in turbid media and biomedical imaging has been evaluated. In digital holograph ...
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. The clouding of the human eye lens is called "Grauer Star" in German. In the industrialized countries this process of increased blindness is corrected by the surgical removal of the clouded lens and its ...
