Biwa hoshi. A member of the contemporary fusion music group AURA-J performing a portion of the Tale of the Heike on biwa. Biwa hÃ´shi were blind itinerant storytellers, prominent in the mid-Heian period through the Muromachi period. Performers of epic tales, accompanying themselves on the biwa (a stringed, lute-like instrument related to the Chinese pipa), they are particularly associated with the Tale of the Heike.
The Nucleus. The largest and most clearly visible of the cell's constituents is the nucleus. Within the nucleus, DNA molecules, the cell's genetic machinery, are stored, repaired, transcribed and eventually replicated. Around the outside of the nucleus is an envelope consisting of two layers of membrane.he largest and most clearly visible of the cell's constituents is the nucleus.

A variety of molecules are located at the apical membrane, but only a few key molecules act as determinants that are required to maintain the identity of the apical membrane and, thus, epithelial polarity.These molecules are the proteins Cdc42, atypical protein kinase C (aPKC), Par6, Par3 /Bazooka/ASIP.hese molecules appear to form two distinct complexes: an aPKC-Par3-Par6 aPKC (or Par) complex that also interacts with Cdc42; and a Crumbs-Stardust-PATJ Crumbs complex. Of these two complexes, the aPKC complex is the most important for epithelial polarity, being required even when the Crumbs complex is not.
