3577 Roles of biglycan on collagen matrix maturation and organizationD. PARISUTHIMAN
Molluscan shells are organo-mineral composites, in which the dominant calcium carbonate is intimately associated with an organic matrix comprised mainly of proteins and polysaccharides. However, whether the various shell matrix proteins (SMPs) date to the origin of hard skeletons in the Cambrian, or ...
However, despite the many clinical applications of NO, the physiological changes depend on its concentration, which is difficult to control because of its short half-life [31]. Therefore, attempts have been made to overcome these limitations via signal transduction to regulate NO production. The go...
Scanning electron micrographs of calcified secretions of the shell show that accretion lines, thought to be layers of organic matrix separating diurnal acceretions of calcium carbonate, are not developed until up to 4 d after deposition of shell material. These results suggest that the shell matrix...

ToF-SIMS is a highly surface-sensitive and chemically specific analytical technique for both inorganic and organic matter. A focused primary ion beam is used to generate ionized molecular fragments from a solid sample in ultra-high vacuum. These secondary ions are then separated by their mass-to-...
Methods Pedicle screws [coated with collagen/chondroitin sulfate (coll/CS), hydroxyapatite (HA), and coll/CS/HA or uncoated] were randomly implanted into the L2鈥揕5 pedicles of sheep. In the first stage, a static experiment was performed. In the second stage, a loading test was performed...

As shown, FDAM contains discrete and intact collagen fibers. In addition, the photographs show that these fibers are aligned unidirectionally. To evaluate the potential of the WJ-MSCs to penetrate into FADM, the matrix was stained by DAPI. The results show the potential of the WJ-MSCs to ...
