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.
Next, all the loss-of-function mutants/models for each laminin chain are discussed and their phenotypes compared. I hope to provide a compre-hensive review on laminin functions and its loss-of-function models, which could serve as a reference for future research in this understudied ï¬eld.
