The Unicellular State as a Point Source in a Quantum Biological System. [PDF]
, 2016 A point source is the central and most important point or place for any group of cohering phenomena. Evolutionary development presumes that biological processes are sequentially linked, but neither directed from, nor centralized within, any specific ...

A mammalian Wnt5a-Ror2-Vangl2 axis controls the cytoskeleton and confers cellular properties required for alveologenesis. [PDF]
, 2020 Alveolar formation increases the surface area for gas-exchange and is key to the physiological function of the lung. Alveolar epithelial cells, myofibroblasts and endothelial cells undergo coordinated morphogenesis to generate epithelial folds (secondary

A preliminary study of local administration of dexamethasone after tooth extraction: Better preservation of residual alveolar ridge? [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2014 Background/Aim. It is important that the height of the edentulous alveolar ridge after tooth extraction remains at a reasonable acceptable level for as long as possible.

Preimplant preparation of the extraction alveolus with the deproteinized bovine bone and calcium-sulphate [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2006 Background. Different materials are used to prevent the resorption of alveolar bone. The aim of this report was to show the radiographical and histological results prior to implant insertion, when a deproteinized bovine bone mineral (BioOss) and calcium ...

Maxillary expansion in an animal model with light, continuous force [PDF]
, 2018 Objectives: Maxillary constriction is routinely addressed with rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the heavy forces delivered by most RME appliances to expand the palate may lead to deleterious effects on the teeth and supporting tissues.

Thickness of the buccal bone wall and root angulation in the maxilla and mandible: an approach to cone beam computed tomography [PDF]
, 2018 Background: The objective of this paper is to anatomically describe the bone morphology in the maxillary and mandibular tooth areas, which might help in planning post-extraction implants.

Spatial and temporal changes in extracellular elastin and laminin distribution during lung alveolar development [PDF]
, 2018 Lung alveolarization requires precise coordination of cell growth with extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and deposition. The role of extracellular matrices in alveogenesis is not fully understood, because prior knowledge is largely extrapolated from ...
