fabricated an FBT by seeding the human umbilical arterial smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs) with ultrafine fibers (1.69 μm) that have a pore size of 46.78 μm and 26.28 μm for 2D and 3D, respectively [17]. As a result, the HUASMCs attached and spread well after five days while being ...
As cells increase in size, cell ___ increases more rapidly than cell surface area.Cell:A cell can be defined as the smallest unit of life. A cell comprises mainly three parts- cell membrane, cell nucleus, and the cell cytoplasm. Different cells are of different shapes and ...
Ca2+ signaling through RyRs has been shown to be critical for skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle physiology (2) as well as for neurons (3) and secretory cells like pancreatic beta cells. RyRs were first seen in the electron microscope as 30-nm-size particles (4), and it had been ...
The size distribution curve displayed a bimodal shape, with a fraction of small cells and a fraction of large cells, as previously reported8,29,30 (Fig. 1b, large cell population defined as the fraction of cells to the right of the dashed line). With HFD, the mean large cell size ...
The size of AuNP can influence their optical imaging properties, biocompatibility and utility for therapeutic applications24. Some researchers have reported that the size, shape, and concentration of AuNP can influence cell uptake in cell tracking applications2,19,25. However, conflicting findings have...
Besides allowing cell penetration, a proper architecture of the scaffold will allow nutrients and oxygen to flow into it as well as to remove waste produced by the cells to increase cell survival and hence to regenerate tissue [2], [3]. Thus, scaffolds need to be designed to present enough...
The cardiovascular system is a complex system of organs, vessels, and cells that work together to distribute blood throughout the body. The cardiovascular system has three main functions; 1. To transport oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body. ...
Occasionally, one kidney is considerably larger than the other, due to an anatomical variation such as a bifid pelvis and ureter. Renal shape A rather bulging lower pole may be due to the lie of the kidney (see pages 243). A shallow local prominence of the convex lateral border may be ...
