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.
Functions of the hair fiber and hair follicle. The main function of the hair follicle is to produce a hair shaft or fiber. The shaft is the physically visible portion of the hair and plays a significant role both biologically and psychologically. The hair shaft is composed of three parts â the cuticle, the cortex and the medulla.
