Mechanism of Angiogenesis01:10

Mechanism of Angiogenesis

5.2K
Blood vessel formation starts early during embryonic development, around day 7. In the extraembryonic yolk sac, mesodermal precursor cells called hemangioblast proliferate and differentiate into angioblast. Angioblasts express vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 or VEGFR2, which binds VEGF-A, a proangiogenic factor, guiding blood vessel formation. VEGF signaling promotes angioblasts to form a blood island in the developing embryo. Angioblasts further differentiate, giving rise to...

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis01:20

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

5.9K
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is when bulk amounts of specific molecules are imported into a cell after binding to cell surface receptors. The molecules bound to these receptors are taken into the cell through inward folding of the cell surface membrane, which is eventually pinched off into a vesicle within the cell. Structural proteins, such as clathrin, coat the budding vesicle.

One well-characterized example of receptor-mediated endocytosis is the...

Endocytosis01:16

Endocytosis

8.9K
Eukaryotic cells acquire nutrients for growth and proliferation. Nutrients and other molecules that require degradation are internalized from the extracellular space by a process called endocytosis. The term ‘endocytosis' was first coined by Christian de Duve in 1963.
Endocytosis always begins with the plasma membrane enclosing an incoming molecule to form a transport vesicle which, in some cases, can be coated with a protein called ‘clathrin.' Endocytosed material is either...

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.5K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies01:38

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

3.4K
Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...

Summary

A new ordered II-IV-N2 material, BeGeN2, crystallizes in a novel structure, deviating from previously known compounds. This unique structural motif is driven by differences in the ionicity of beryllium-nitrogen and germanium-nitrogen bonds.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid-State Chemistry
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Previously, all ordered II-IV-N2 materials adopted the beta-NaFeO2-type structure (space group Pna21).
  • A different cation ordering motif was theoretically anticipated for this class of materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the crystal structure of BeGeN2.
  • To understand the chemical bonding driving the observed cation ordering in BeGeN2.

Main Methods:

  • X-ray crystallography to determine the crystal structure of BeGeN2.
  • Chemical bonding analysis using crystal orbital Hamilton populations (COHP) and crystal orbital bonding indices (COBI).

Main Results:

  • BeGeN2 crystallizes in a novel structure with space group Pmc21, featuring a different cation ordering than previously known II-IV-N2 materials.
  • Analysis revealed a significant difference in ionicity between Be-N and Ge-N bonds.

Conclusions:

  • The distinct ionicity of Be-N and Ge-N bonds is the primary factor enabling the unique structural motif observed in BeGeN2.
  • This finding provides a rationale for the observed cation ordering in this class of materials.
