Different bones possess distinct names, such as the femur (thigh bone), the humerus (upper arm bone), the skull (cranium), the ribs, the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the vertebrae (backbone, comprising individual vertebrae). These precise terms ar...
During surgery, pus drainage from the intramedullary canal indicated infection, and cultures were positive for pansensitiveClostridium perfringens. After initial stabilization, imaging showed inadequate fragment contact, leading to referral to our bone infection unit. A revision surgery with plate ...
Control of the catheter position was done intraoperatively with the O-Arm system (Medtronic) (Fig. 1). The catheter was attached to the right frontal bone of the skull with the Medtronic Stimloc system and then tunneled under the skin into the abdominal region where it was connected to a ...

· The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) spends a huge amount of cellular energy for producing its secretome. • Multiple pathways are employed to allow protein release from RPE cells. • RPE secretory proteins govern multiple processes (apical/basolateral ECM (re)modelling, angiogenesis, immune ...
Aged bone marrow macrophages drive systemic aging and age-related dysfunction via extracellular vesicle-mediated induction of paracrine senescence Article Open access 12 September 2024 Main Aging is an inevitable, time-dependent process that eventually limits the capacity of cells to maintain efficient ho...
While traditionally the function of the extracellular matrix and the basement membrane was considered to be providing structural support, it is now clear that this only covers one aspect of its multiple functions. This is also illustrated by our growing
