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.
Function of skin pigment. Melanin is a naturally produced polymer found in a multitude of locations in the body, from the eye and ear, to the brain and skin. Each different location contains a different variety of melanin, such as neuromelanin in the brain, and eumelanin and pheomelanin in the skin.
