Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable interactions between cells, as detailed in a study published in Nature Communications.

This sealing is achieved through structures called tight junctions. However, how these tight junctions form has long been a ...

Within multicellular organisms, cells build connections with each other forming cell layers that cover the surfaces of tissues and organs and separate structures in the body. For example, the skin ...

At these junctions, transmembrane proteins on one cell interact with similar transmembrane proteins on adjacent cells. Special adaptor proteins then connect the resulting assembly to the ...

With the development of the first four-junction, four-terminal stacked solar cell produced using a micro transfer printing process, researchers have achieved efficiencies of up to 43.9 percent ...

This article is part of “Innovations In: Sickle Cell Disease,” an editorially independent special report that was produced with financial support from Vertex Pharmaceuticals. TRANSCRIPT How is ...

Cell barrier opens at junctions of three cells The scientists found that the epithelial cells sequentially removed four different adhesion proteins from their membranes.

The orderly arrangement of cells in tissues depends on complex signaling between cells. Learn how cellular junctions play important roles in cell adhesion and communication.

Developed by scientists in Germany, the triple-junction cell is based on a perovskite top cell with an energy bandgap of 1.84 eV, a perovskite middle cell with bandgap of 1.52 eV, and a silicon ...

NUS researchers have developed a triple-junction perovskite/Si tandem solar cell with a record-breaking power conversion efficiency of 27.1%.

The triple-junction solar cell is based on a 15.0%-efficient top perovskite solar cell modified with potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) and methylammonium iodide (MAI). According to its creators, the ...
