The visualization and quantitative assessment of tissue structure, tissue anisotropy, cell density and metabolism, extracellular matrix (ECM) production, the generation of new blood vessels, or the integration of implanted tissue with the host tissue can all be visualized and quantified via MRI. MRI ...
Necrosis and hypoxia are commonly identified by means of invasive histopathology, which is often correlated with morbidity and potential tumor cell dissemination. Thus,in situdiagnostic techniques, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [15,16], blood oxygenation level dependent-MRI [17], diffusion-...
Augmenting the body with artificial limbs controlled concurrently to one’s natural limbs has long appeared in science fiction, but recent technological and neuroscientific advances have begun to make this possible. By allowing individuals to achieve oth
Correlation of respiration and ultrasound production in rodents and bats Audible and ultrasonic cries of five species of myomoph rodent pups were generally found to be closely associated with the onset of the expiratory phase of respiration (recorded with a hot wire anemometer). Consideration of the...
Autoreactive T-cells and B-cells promote the immune response against autoantigens. Typically, fibroblasts adopt proinflammatory and tissue-damaging functions by expressing MMPs and inflammatory mediators. Hypoxia and the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promote the formation of ...
A first- principles investigation Meng Zhang1, Zhongjia Huang2, Xiao Wang1, Hongyu Zhang1, Taohai Li3, Zhaolong Wu1, Youhua Luo1 & Wei Cao4 The inorganic layered crystal (ILC) MoS2 in low dimensions is considered as one of the most promising and efficient semiconductors...
Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) is a novel imaging modality to study charged particles with optical methods by detecting the Cerenkov luminescence produced in tissue. This paper first describes the physical processes that govern the production and tr
Basic Physical Principles of PET-CT The first prototype of a hybrid PET-CT system consisted of a PET scanner connected to a CT scanner and was used in the examination of cancer patients (Beyer et al. 2000). Since both subsystems were already well advanced by that time, integrating the two...
Before proceeding, it is important to clarify that biomusicology chiefly concerns musicality rather than music per se. Whereasmusicis a cultural phenomenon of infinite variety [46],musicalityis the genetically constrained and reliably developing set of neural capacities on which music production and pe...
