Physiological type I collagen organization induces the formation of a novel class of linear invadosomes

This study shows that fibrillar collagen I is the physiological inducer of a novel class of invadosomes, which we named “linear invadosomes.” They are dependent on the scaffold protein Tks5 and are able to degrade extracellular matrix elements. Moreover, we demonstrate that they are β1- and β3-integrin independent, unlike classical invadosomes

Nonlinear optical properties of glass

Numerous innovations in photonics have been realized on the basis of nonlinear optical properties, notably in information technologies. Totake advantage of the nonlinear optical properties of glass, multidisciplinary research efforts were necessary, combining optics, glass chemistry,material science, as well as development of optical or electrical polarizations processes. This chapter addresses both fundamental aspects of nonlinear optical responses and also the exploitation of nonlinear optical phenomena in glassy material. It starts by a general introduction to nonlinear optical phenomena and concepts. Then, the specific cases of second and third optical responses in glasses are treated separately and described in detail as a function of the corresponding optical phenomena, the various glass families, and their applications
