It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which signals about the health of other organs could be discovered. The doctors in charge of it. Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are studying Moorfields database of eye scans, which offers a detailed picture of the health of the ...
thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD) to measure the absorbed doses of radiosensitive organs recommended by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), and whole body effective doses which were delivered due to dental X-ray examination performed with different types of X-ray instrument. ...
They may then translocate to blood causing adverse biological reactions in several organs, which considered to be the secondary major sites of interaction [15–18]. The kidney is particularly susceptible to xenobiotics owing not only to its high blood supply but also its ability to concentrate ...
Finally, the mtDNAs in post- mitotic organs like the brain accumulate age-related somatic mtDNA mutations which result in the progressive decline in mitochondrial function, providing the aging clock. Since the tissue most reliant on mitochondrial energetics is the central nervous system, subtle changes...
Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra) has high nutritional value. This study investigated the contents of glucosinolates, antioxidants (chlorophylls, carotenoids, vitamin C, and total phenolics), and antioxidant capacity in five organs from si
For the average person, sound waves enter the ear and pass through several tiny organs that eventually pass the vibrations on to the auditory nerves in the form of electric signals. If the mechanism of the ear is severely damaged, that person will be unable to hear anything. However, the ...
Different Types of Heterochromia ‘Heterochromia’ is a Latin term meaning ‘different colors,’ which perfectly describes this trait. There are actuallythree distinct categories of heterochromia, although some people may have a combination of two or three: ...
Fourth- and fifth-generation PEGylated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers fully modified with PEGs of different molecular weights (2 k and 5 k) were retained long-term in the blood and were accumulated to a lower degree in normal organs [14]. PEGylated poly-l-lysine dendrimers also demonstrate ...
1b). This suggests that, relative to R175 mutations, R273 mutations might accelerate disease progression from early stages to advanced stages, involving cancer cell spreading to nearby lymph nodes (stage 3) and metastases to distant organs (stage 4)....
Furthermore, although ROCK1 knockdown in keratinocytes induced a decrease in cell adhesion to fibronectin, the knockdown of ROCK2 promoted fibronectin adhesion41,42. These observations indicate that ROCK1 and 2 may have different roles and may well be localized in various tissues and organs. Only ...
