Transform Plate Boundaries. Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges.
Laminin function and loss-of-function studies. Laminin exerts many different functions, including embryogenesis, vascular maturation, and neuromuscular development [8, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41]. These functions are highly dependent on laminin isoforms, their cellular sources, and developmental stages.
A: Internal elastic lamina is a connective tissue layer just beneath the endothelium. This layer functions to accommodate volume fluctuations in the arteries of the body. The lamina is DECTIRA during diastole and DECTRA during systole because the contraction of the heart causes volume fluctuation which stretches the fibers. B: Internal elastic lamina stains black due to the elastic fibers.
