Collagen Type I as a Ligand for Receptor-Mediated Signaling

Collagens form the fibrous component of the extracellular matrix in all multi-cellular animals.Collagen type I is the most abundant collagen present in skin, tendons, vasculature, as well as the organic portion of the calcified tissue of bone and teeth.This review focuses on numerous receptors for which collagen acts as a ligand, including integrin

A magnetic-field independent approach for strongly anisotropic equations arising plasma-edge transport simulations

[Summary] The control of the power exhaust in tokamaks is still an open issue for the future fusion operations.The heat loads on divertor and limiter PFCs is largely determined by the physics of the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL), and therefore it depends mainly on the geometry of the magnetic surfaces and on the geometry of wall components.A better charac
