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.
What is Laminin? Laminin is a protein that is part of the extracellular matrix in humans and animals. The extracellular matrix (ECM) lies outside of cells and provides support and attachment for cells inside organs (along with many other functions). Laminin has âarmsâ that associate with other laminin molecules to form sheets and bind to cells.
