Religious Emphasis Week (R.E.W)

Laminin:
Laminin is a protein found in the extracellular matrix, the sheets of protein that form the substrate of all internal organs also called the basement membrane. It is the major non-collagenous component of the basal lamina, such as those on which cells of an epithelium sit.[1] It has four arms that can bind to four other molecules. The three shorter arms are particularly good at binding to other laminin molecules, which is what makes it so great at forming sheets. The long arm is capable of binding to cells, which helps anchor the actual organs to the membrane.




Laminin is vital to making sure overall body structures hold together.




In Colossians 1:17, it is written that "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."


It basically means that Jesus is the firstborn before all things, and through Him all things and connected. It is through Him that we are finally able to connect again with God.




Most of you must be wondering. What does this have to anything to do with laminin other than the fact that both Laminin and Jesus bring things together.




Well, take a look at how the structure of laminin look like (you can search for it on yahoo if you don't believe me haha):
