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.
Albumin is an important protein made by the liver and released continuously into the blood. One of albuminâs main functions is to bind with other substances in the blood to help them get where they need to go. For example, albumin binds to thyroid hormone and certain drugs and nutrients, allowing their stable transport through the blood to their destination. Albumin molecules also act like tiny sponges inside blood vessels, keeping fluid inside rather than allowing it to leak out.
