even mild auditory trauma associated with TTS results in more than 50% loss of synapses between cochlear nerve fibers and IHCs, but no loss of HCs and no change in hearing threshold [17]. This form of impairment is considered to be one of the major causes of hidden hearing...
The following relevant information were extracted from the full texts of included studies into a standardised form developed by investigator SJ: study information (author, year, country of origin, study design), participant information (number of participants, baseline characteristics, retention rate), ...
These studies have revealed the critical role of the vitamin A-active form, retinoic acid (RA) in the regulation of several developmental genes, including the important growth regulatory factor, transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGFβ2), involved in early events of heart morphogenesis. However, ...
All patients underwent some form of surgical resection – most frequently a modified radical mastectomy. In 31 out of 47 cases, surgical resection was followed by some form of adjuvant therapy (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy (tamoxifen), or some combination of the aforementioned). Speci...
bioactive peptides may either be present in their natural form or released from their parental proteins due to enzymatic action. The increasing interest in bioactive peptides among researchers has lately augmented the exploration of minor dairy species such as sheep, goat, camel, mithun, mare, and...
The aligned long MultiBeta helix cum short angled monoalpha helix peptides also include the non-superimposed interlocking homodimeric peptide, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A)/vascular permeability factor (VPF) (1+ IS 1+ SS 1+ IS 1+) [162,215–219], which, in contrast to TGF...
Equally important is the need to stabilize the provisional vessels as the tissue remodels and to form a permanent vascular network. In addition to macrophages and fibroblasts, MSCs produce basic FGF and VEGF-A, which provide powerful mitogenic cues to promote proliferation, migration and ...
Such a model allows in principle the calculation of control coefficients also under dynamic conditions. In linlog kinetics, the elasticities are the kinetic parameters represented in the elasticity matrix. From these, and a given network structure specified in the form of a stoichiometric matrix, ...
Other equations for PP pathway such as Rpe, Rpi, TktA, TktB, and Tal were considered in the form of mass-action kinetic, given in Eqs. (25)-(29) in Table 1 [8]. Once the fluxes were determined, the specific CO2 production rate vCO2 was assumed to be estimated by vCO2=vPDH+vPc...
In this study, GFP+BMMSC were acquired and cultured in medium containing dexamethasone and ascorbic acid phosphate to form cell aggregate that could be scraped off mechanically, and were then transplanted onto rat acute cuta- neous wound models without any scaffold. Same number of GFP+BMMSCwere ...
