Paying particular attention to the influence of cell structure, Niessen’s method focuses on three scale lengths: protein, cell and organ. * Outlining the ways in which biochemical and physical signals interact in the operation of the skin barrier, Niessen’s research has important implications not only for our understanding of these processes but also for diseases like psoriasis, diabetes and cancer. * Who is Carien Niessen? http://www.niessenlab.uni-koeln.de/ This LT Publication is divided into the following chapters: 0:00 Question 1:35 Method 3:14 Findings 4:29 Relevance 5:58 Outlook

In this video, BJORN STEVENS challenges this orthodoxy, arguing that small and intermediate scales of motion play a key role in determining the Eart
