Spongy bone — irregular beams of bone surrounded by red bone marrow (soft, blood-forming tissue); also calledcancellous bone Compact bone — denser type of bone made up of cylindrical units composed of concentric layers (lamellae) of bone matrix Blood Liquid matrix (blood plasma) and circulatin...
The invention provides methods of repairing damage to, or defects in, mammalian tissues or organs. In these methods, a particulate or non-particulate acellular matrix made from a tissue or organ other than the tissue or organ being repaired is placed in or on the organ or tissue that is ...
The menstrual cycle is the monthly cycle of follicle and egg maturation, the release of an egg (ovulation), and the preparation of the uterine lining for pregnancy. If a woman does not become pregnant, the uterine lining tissue is shed as menstrual blood. ...
A group of cells that are the same, all doing the same job, is called a tissue (e.g. muscle tissue). A group of different tissues working together to do an important job is an organ. For example, the heart is an organ and is made of muscle tissue and nerve tissue. Organs have ...
plants or parts of plants of improved biological value comprises growing plant seed, tissue or cells in a culture medium comprising trace element(s) in a concn. of 1 nM-0.1M. Also claimed are dietetic, pharmaceutical and cosmetic compsns. contg. plants, parts or extracts of high trace ...
Tissue clearing technique enables visualization of opaque organs and tissues in 3-dimensions (3-D) by turning tissue transparent. Current tissue clearing methods are restricted by limited types of tissues that can be cleared with each individual protocol, which inevitably led to the presence of blind...
Organs-on-chips (microphysiological systems): tools to expedite efficacy and toxicity testing in human tissue. Related topics addressed here are the interconnection of organs-on-chips to support physiologically based pharmacokinetics and drug discovery and screening, and... KM Fabre,C Livingston,DA Tag...
Detailed description of antennal sensory organs of Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) and a comparison with L. zonatus (Dallas, 1852) are presented. A novel approach that combines the advantages of field
In addition to lymphoid or myeloid tissue, the reticulum supports a dense network of blood or lymph capillaries, made up of endothelium which are often dilated to form sinuses. The endothelium is specially adapted to allow passage of cells. The lymphoid organs and the bone marrow are cellulo...
The questions that scientists have to weigh as they navigate the ethics of fast-moving stem cell research can sometimes sound like science fiction. Embryo-like structures concocted in a lab from skin tissue can help researchers peer into the "black box" of earlyhuman development. ...
