Evolution likes to borrow. It can take an already-successful biological structure and alter it until it serves a new function. Two independent groups studying the proteins that organize gut microvilli ...
In a just released article in the Journal of Molecular Recognition, Dr. Hermann Schillers et al. report the first visualization of individual microvilli on living cells with atomic force microscopy.
The "brush border" – a densely packed array of finger-like projections called microvilli – covers the surfaces of the cells that line our intestines. Vanderbilt University researchers have now ...
Hamilton and McMichael 1 and Matthews 2 have recently suggested mechanisms to explain features of intestinal disaccharide absorption which are dependent on the structure of the microvilli and their ...
