Neurogenesis at the brain-cerebrospinal fluid interface.

Cerebral cortical progenitor cells can be classified into several different types, and each progenitor type integrates cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic cues to regulate neurogenesis. On one hand, cell-intrinsic mechanisms that depend upon appropriate apical-basal polarity are established by adherens junctions and apical complex proteins and are particularly important in progenitors with apical...

Membrane enzymes: transformers at the interface.

Membrane enzymes constitute a large class of proteins with vital roles in cellular signaling and metabolism and typically act on membrane components as substrates such as lipids or oligosaccharides of the bacterial cell wall1. The molecular basis of diverse reaction specificities of closely related membrane enzymes transforming identical substrates into different products has been largely elusi...

Reflection and Transmission of Longitudinal Wave at Micropolar Viscoelastic Solid/Fluid Saturated Incompressible Porous Solid Interface

In this paper, the reflection and refraction of longitudinal wave from a plane surface separating a micropolar viscoelastic solid half space and a fluid saturated incompressible half space is studied. A longitudinal wave (P-wave) impinges obliquely at the interface. Amplitude ratios for various reflected and transmitted waves have been obtained. Then these amplitude ratios have been computed nu...
