L’usine Gardel (1870-1994)

Ernest Juvara 1870 – 1933

tinere talente recrutate de profesorul Thoma Ionescu, a cărui intuiţie în alegerea colaboratorilor, viitorilor profesori de chirurgie, şefi de şcoală la rândul lor, nu a dat niciodată greş. Născut la 14 mai 1870 în oraşul Bârlad, acest fiu strălucit al pământului Moldovei, a reuşit prin calităţile sale înnăscute, dar mai ales printr-o muncă ordonată şi neobosită, să făurească o operă nepieritoa...

Margaret Gardel: At the interface of physics and biology

C ell movement and shape are controlled in large part by the actin cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is coupled to the cell's environment via focal adhesions, which consist of a multi-protein complex that assembles at the cyto-plasmic face of integrins. What prompts focal adhesion assembly and disassembly? And how does the cytoskeleton transmit forces across the cell and focal adhesions to the env...

Warren Harmon Lewis (1870-1964)

As one of the first to work at the Carnegie Institution of Washington [5] Department of Embryology, Warren Harmon Lewis made a number of contributions to the field of embryology [6]. In addition to his experimental discoveries on muscle development and the eye, Lewis also published and revised numerous works of scientific literature, including papers in the Carnegie Contributions to Embryology ...

Ross Granville Harrison (1870-1959)

A pioneer in experimental embryology [5], Ross Granville Harrison [4] made numerous discoveries that advanced biology. One of the most significant was his adaptation of the hanging drop method [6] from bacteriology to carry out the first tissue culture. This method allowed for further studies in embryology [5] as well as experimental improvements in oncology, virology, genetics, and a number of...
