There are as many examples of OoCs as there are applications, making it difficult for new researchers to understand what makes one OoC more suited to an application than another. This Primer is intended to give an introduction to the aspects of OoC that need to be considered when developing ...
One group that supports consumption of organ meat is the Paleo diet community, which stresses the high protein content and nutrient density offal offers. For example, in her bookPaleo Principles, Sarah Ballantyne, PhD, recommends eating organ meat (preferably grass-fed) at least twice (but ideall...
What is the organ system that helps your body move? What organs are in the musculoskeletal system? Is the eardrum part of the organ of Corti? What organ system does the thymus belong to? What main organs are involved in the muscular system and what does each organ do?
It was previously shown that the use of DF to produce urologic substitutes provided tissues presenting great mechanical properties but also featuring the expression of some cutaneous markers35. On the other hand, when VF were used to produce substitutes, they presented an urothelium histologically si...
body. For those of us who have dedicated our lives to the study ofimmunology, we have found that we must have some understanding of many other specialties in order to perform our clinical tasks, or to conduct research in a broader context, which makes our discipline singularly unique. It ...
only giving rise to the same type of tissue from which they originated. But new research suggests that adult stem cells may have the potential to generate other types of cells, as well. For example, liver cells may be coaxed to produceinsulin, which is normally made by the pancreas. This...
By using the GLP-1 producing GLUTag cell line and the insulin producing INS-1 cell line, the researchers were able to create viable 3D cell aggregates that maintained their cell state and function for 72 h. Results demonstrated that the microfluidic system, compared to static 2D cell ...
The pancreas serves two vital functions of the body. It produces the hormone insulin that regulates blood sugar. It also produces enzymes that help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Answer and Explanation:1 The pancreas is part of the endocrine system. This system involves numerous gl...
INSULIN-RESISTANCECROHNS-DISEASEHUMAN GENOMECELL LINEThe human microbiome contains a vast array of microbes and genes that show greater complexity than the host's own karyome; the functions of many of these microbes are beneficial and show co-evolution with the host, while others ...
This is exemplified by a recent study providing multi-omics insights into functional changes of the liver in a transgenic pig model for insulin-deficient diabetes mellitus. Collectively, these approaches will provide a better understanding of organ crosstalk in diabetes mellitus and eventually reveal ...
