Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

3.0K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Cells of the Epidermis01:24

Cells of the Epidermis

7.3K
The epidermis is made of four or five layers of epithelial cells, depending on its location in the body. From deep to superficial, these layers are the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum.
The cells in all these layers except the stratum basale are called keratinocytes, a type of cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

5.9K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Hypodermis01:02

Hypodermis

7.7K
The hypodermis (the subcutaneous layer or superficial fascia) is present directly below the dermis. It connects the skin to the underlying fascia (fibrous tissue) of the bones and muscles. It is not strictly a part of the skin, although the border between the hypodermis and dermis can be difficult to distinguish. The hypodermis consists of well-vascularized, loose, areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue, which functions as a mode of fat storage and provides insulation and cushioning for...

The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

6.8K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Hyperbolas01:30

Hyperbolas

675
A hyperbola is a conic section produced when a double-napped cone is intersected by a plane at an angle steeper than the slope of the cone, such that it cuts through both nappes. This intersection yields two separate, mirror-image curves known as branches, which open away from each other along the transverse axis. The nearest points on each branch to the hyperbola’s center are termed vertices, and the distance from the center to a vertex is denoted by a. Perpendicular to the transverse...

Area of Science:

  • Planetary Science
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Background:

  • Hyperion, Saturn's largest irregular moon, exhibits chaotic rotation.
  • Its surface is unique among small icy moons, but the reasons remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the unique surface features and physical properties of Saturn's moon Hyperion.
  • To determine the cause of Hyperion's distinct surface appearance and crater preservation.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of high-resolution images of Hyperion's surface.
  • Mapping of surface craters.
  • Determination of Hyperion's size, mass, and mean density.

Main Results:

  • Hyperion displays a distinctive sponge-like texture at kilometer scales.
  • A high density of well-preserved craters (2-10 km) was observed.
  • Mean density calculated as 544 +/- 50 kg m(-3), indicating porosity exceeding 40%.

Conclusions:

  • Hyperion's high porosity (>40%) is a key factor in its unique surface.
  • Porosity likely enhances crater preservation by reducing ejecta.
  • This explains Hyperion's unusual appearance and cratered landscape.
