Sentences with word «lamella»

But when the proteins consolidate, this increases the refractive index so the contrast between the inside and outside suddenly increases, causing the stack of lamellae to become reflective, while at the same time they dehydrate and shrink, which causes color changes.

The filtering of food items is assisted by hairy structures called lamellae which line the mandibles, and the large rough - surfaced tongue.

When the lipid lamellae is compromised, water can escape from skin, making it more vulnerable to allergens and bacteria.

The precision of this tuning by regulating the nanoscale dimensions of the lamellae is amazing.»

They showed that the cascade of events culminating in the condensation of the reflectins causes the osmotic pressure inside the lamellae to change drastically due to the expulsion of water, which shrinks and dehydrates the lamellae and reduces their thickness and spacing.

«This effect of the condensation on the reflectins simultaneously increases the refractive index inside the lamellae,» explained Morse.

The researchers created antibodies to bind specifically to the reflectin proteins, which revealed that the reflectins are located exclusively inside the lamellae formed by the folds in the cell membrane.

«Initially, before the proteins are consolidated, the refractive index — you can think of it as the density — inside the lamellae and outside, which is really the outside water environment, is the same.
