Within this region, the anchoring filaments traverse the electron-translucent zone ('lamina lucida') and connect hemidesmosomes to the electron-dense zone ('lamina densa').
Both the strata and filaments are distant from each other by plasma regions of the same scales, but with decreased density and temperature.
Around these filaments, or vortices, the superconducting properties are partially destroyed.
However, using a low-density target material might significantly increase the diameter of the filaments and allow their detection by optical imaging.
Could a highly complex network of filaments and knots such as this represent a frozen message?
Many filaments are visible on the right side of the figure.
We are told that its carriages are made of protein filaments one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair.
The vimentin filaments formed were only short and, furthermore, were only loosely associated.
