Podocyturia: What is in a name?

The podocyte is a highly differentiated cell located in the outer space of the glomerular basement membrane that deals with many different functions. This phylogenetically preserved cell that is responsible for the virtually absence of proteins in the urine lacks of the capacity to divide under normal conditions. When podocytes receive molecular insults, which normally occur during stress condi...

Physiological genomics--what is in a name?

PHYSIOLOGY, THE SCIENTIFIC discipline of enquiry into how molecules, cells, and organs interact to function as a whole being, has been in existence since the times of the ancient Greeks. However, it was in the 18th and 19th centuries that physiology collided with advances in chemistry, physics, and biology to pave the way for new disciplines to emerge, such as biochemistry, biophysics, and more...

Mechanochemistry of the mechanical bond

Strong and stable under tension? In this review we present the recent efforts investigating the mechanochemical properties of interlocked structures by atomic force microscopy and polymer mechanochemistry.

What is a free name in a process algebra?

There are two popular approaches to specifying the semantics of process algebras: labelled transition semantics and reaction semantics. While the notion of free name is rather unproblematic for labelled transition semantics this is not so for reaction semantics in the presence of a structural congruence for unfolding recursive declarations. We show that the standard definition of free name is n...
