This Mumbai apartment is flooded with ample natural light and huge fenestrations that ensure constant cross ventilation.
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, also known as nanoscopy, has provided us with a glimpse of future impacts on cell biology. Far-field optical nanoscopy allows, for the first time, the study of sub-cellular nanoscale biological structures in living cells, which in the past was limited to electron microscopy (EM) (in fixed/dehydrated) cells or tissues. Nanoscopy has particular utility in the study of “fenestrations” – phospholipid transmembrane nanopores of 50–150 nm in diameter through liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) that facilitate the passage of plasma, but (usually) not blood cells, to and from the surrounding hepatocytes. Previously, these fenestrations were only discernible with EM, but now they can be visualized in fixed and living cells using structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and in fixed cells using single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) techniques such as direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy. Importantly, both methods use wet samples, avoiding dehydration artifacts. The use of nanoscopy can be extended to the in vitro study of fenestration dynamics, to address questions such as the following: are they actually dynamic structures, and how do they respond to endogenous and exogenous agents? A logical further extension of these methodologies to liver research (including the liver endothelium) will be their application to liver tissue sections from animal models with different pathological manifestations and ultimately to patient biopsies. This review will cover the current state of the art of the use of nanoscopy in the study of liver endothelium and the liver in general. Potential future applications in cell biology and the clinical implications will be discussed.
The architecture in Brussels is diverse, and spans from the mediaeval constructions on the Grand Place to the postmodern buildings of the EU institutions. Main attractions include the Grand Place, since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the Gothic town hall in the old centre, the St. Michael and Gudula Cathedral and the Laken Castle with its large greenhouses. Another famous landmark is the Royal Palace. The Atomium is a symbolic 103-metre (338 ft) tall structure that was built for the 1958 World’s Fair. It consists of nine steel spheres connected by tubes, and forms a model of an iron crystal (specifically, a unit cell. The architect A. Waterkeyn devoted the building to science. Next to the Atomium is the Mini-Europe park with 1:25 scale maquettes of famous buildings from across Europe. The Manneken Pis, a bronze fountain of a small peeing boy is a famous tourist attraction and symbol of the city. Other landmarks include the Cinquantenaire park with its triumphal arch and nearby museums, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Brussels Stock Exchange, the Palace of Justice and the buildings of EU institutions in the European Quarter.

Kane County, Utah, USA — In this spacious resort, the ethereal and immaterial aspects of intimate spatial experiences—sounds, smells, textures, moods—come to the foreground, as the architecture itself retreats into the rocky landscape through its dense materiality, staccato volumes, and striated horizontal profile.

Aluminum Horizontal Facade | Plan Loci The sinuous grey metal on the outside celebrates the industrial horizontal aluminum facade, while not betraying the inner layer of timber-framed fenestrations which make its occupants feel the intimacy and warmth of a home.
The Mehra Residence re-imagines how urban homes can create seamless connections between the inside and the outside. Its dynamic articulation of the facade explores how architects, with fenestrations & cladding, and a play with openings create exciting connections with the outdoors.
It seems like monsteras (Monstera spp. and cvs., Zones 10–12) are everywhere these days. Swiss cheese plant (M. deliciosa), with its large leaves full of fenestrations, or holes, is the most common monstera available and can been seen gracing the pages of nearly every architectural and design magazine.
Monstera is one of the most recognisable houseplants that has large and lovely leaves and is quite large. Their punchy leaf-holes scientifically referred to as fenestrations have given them the popular nickname Swiss Cheese Plant or simply cheese plant. This article explains some essential Cheese Plant care tips!
