In general, anti-aromaticity has not gained significant attention mainly due to the lack of stable 4nπ systems. In this regard, a stable isophlorin and its expanded derivatives provide a hope to glance into the world of ...

Integrin-mediated adhesion regulates membrane trafficking to control anchorage-dependent signaling and growth that is deregulated in cancers. Downstream of integrins and oncogenic Ras, the small GTPase Ral, is a vital ...

Cancer cells are unique in overcoming the requirement for cell-matrix adhesion (anchorage dependence) to grow, proliferate and metastasize. Among the cellular pathways regulated by adhesion include its ability to control ...

Advanced functional porous materials (AFPMs) and their hybrid composites have emerged as promising solutions for energy-efficient chemical separation applications. These innovative materials possess unique structural ...

Porosity is an important property of materials and observed in rocks, soils, biological tissues, ceramics, zeolites etc. The exquisite control over the order and functionality of porous architectures led to the design of ...

Protein aggregation is a common feature observed in several neurodegenerative disorders. Their presence can affect cellular homeostasis in several ways and could prove to be valuable clues to understand neural disease ...

Throughout history, humans have formed communities, guilds, faiths etc in the hope of coming together with a group of people having similar requirements, visions and goals. Their reasons to do so, usually rest on the fact ...

Syncytial nuclei found in fungi, plant endosperm, insect embryos and muscles maintain an autonomous 'nuclear-cytoplasmic region of influence', thereby generating compartments within a seemingly shared cytoplasm. Molecular ...

A number of stem cells in Drosophila and mammalian systems are partially polarised epithelial cells that have a lateral and basal domain but no apical domain. As a result of their differentiation, an apical domain develops, ...
