(A) Illustration of hierarchical assembly of collagen over length scales via diverse interaction mechanisms, reversible interactions of hierarchical assemblies allow for structural reconfigurations and adaptive functions, and irreversible interactions allow yielding terminal structures that...
by Stony Brook University IL-17A acts on unique cell types to regulate intestinal function. Under normal conditions, IL-17A acts on stem cells to promote their differentiation into secretory epithelial cells. This visual depicts that during colitis, IL-17A acts on secretory cells to mitigate the disease’s inflammatory effects. Credit: Pawan Kumar A paper published this week...
