An x-ray diffraction study on samples of a compact bone tissue at small and large diffraction angles has been carried out for the first time. It has been found that during stretching the hydroxyapatite crystals in a compact bone tissue are not deformed in proportion to the deformation of the...
Weight loss drugs help with fat loss, but they cause bone and muscle loss too For a long time, dieting and exercise were the only realistic options for many people who wanted to lose weight, but recent pharmaceutical advances have led to the development of weight loss drugs. These are based...
One of the types of tissue that makes up bone is the mineralized osseous tissue, also called bone tissue, that gives it rigidity and a honeycomb-like three-dimensional internal structure. Other types of tissue found in bones include marrow, endosteum and periosteum, nerves, blood vessels and ...
What is the function of the periosteum? In what ways is the structural makeup of compact and spongy bone well suited to their respective functions? What is the composition of the bone matrix and the importance of hydroxyapatite? What are the main functions of connective tissue? What are the...
Which vertebrae interacts with the skull, and which part of the skull does it interact with? What are the major bones of the body and their articulations? Which skull bone(s) form the "keystone of the face"? Identify what soft tissue structures these bones protect: (a) Rib cage (b...
A micro-nano structure surface is also required to provide a good interface for cell adhesion, proliferation, and bone tissue growth [18]. Usually, the above-mentioned biomechanical properties are influenced by a series of factors, including material composition, forming process, structure ...
and control mouse brains were dissociated with a MACS Neural Tissue Dissociation Kit (P) (Miltenyi) following the manufacturers’ instructions. Analysis of human cells in eGFP+mice was performed as described previously [22]. For analysis of mouse-derived TME in nude mice, single cells were resusp...
In total, interstitial lung disease (ILD) comprises of more than 200 different types of chronic lung disorders that is characterized by inflammation of lung tissue, usually referred to as pulmonary fibrosis. The fibrosis causes lung stiffness, and this reduces the ability of the air sacs (i.e....
Understanding resilience—the ability of injured lung tissue to heal and regenerate—may be key to advancing the treatment and prevention of life-threatening lung disease that occurs in extremely premature babies, a new ... Feb 24, 2025
Disruption of a single amino acid in a cellular protein makes breast cancer cells behave like stem cells Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein normally expressed in cells that develop into connective tissue, blood vessels, and lymphatic tissue (mesenchymal cells). Despite being...
