The blood vessels in the abdominal muscle of the mouse (red) and the blood vessels of the engineered tissue implanted in this muscle (green). Before implantation, the engineered blood vessels underwent static stretching, which caused them to organize in a direction parallel to the stretching direction. After the transplant, as you can see, a very good connection was achieved between the transplanted blood vessels and the original blood vessels, thanks to the similar directionality.

Cyanobacteria living in the sea or in fresh water protect themselves from excess light radiation by activating the orange carotenoid protein (OCP). The OCP is activated by strong light and changes its color from orange to red. The picture shows three cells, one in full light (above, reddish color), one in shadow (below, the color of their spot) and one in the middle. In the article, the mechanism of action of the OCP was proposed: after activation, the amino-end of the protein "digs" into the antenna complex called the phycobilisome, thereby preventing the flow of energy to the reaction centers.

Whole stem cells (top left) are drained of their contents (the process is depicted in the direction of the arrow), reduced in the laboratory to nanometer size (nanometer ghosts), and loaded with nucleic acids (in blue). Those nano-ghosts are injected into the patient and through the blood vessels (in red) they reach the tumor (in green) specifically, and only there they unload their cargo, leading to the creation of the anti-cancer drug.

Solved spatial structure of the ubiquitin chain with the AIRAPL protein (yellow). It can be seen that the UIM2 interaction surface of AIRAPL enables specific binding to the LYS48 conformation of the ubiquitin chain and allows the last ubiquitin in the chain additional available binding space.
