First study on the effect of transforming growth factor beta 1 and insulin-like growth factor 1 on the chondrogenesis of elephant articular chondrocytes in a scaffold-based 3D culture model [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2022 Background and Aim: Osteoarthritis (OA) is recognized as a degenerative joint disease that leads to chronic pain and low quality of life in animals. Captive elephants, the largest land mammals with a long lifespan, are more prone to develop OA due to ...

Exploring animal models in oral cancer research and clinical intervention: A critical review
Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023 Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, but advances in treatment, early detection, and prevention have helped to reduce its impact. To translate cancer research findings into clinical interventions for patients, appropriate animal experimental ...

Pumpkin phloem lectin genes are specifically expressed in companion cells. [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1992 Pumpkin phloem exudate contains two abundant phloem proteins: PP1 is a 96-kD protein that forms polymeric filaments in vivo, and PP2 is a 48-kD dimeric lectin. Polyclonal antibodies raised against pumpkin phloem exudate were used to isolate several cDNAs corresponding to PP1 and PP2.

The sieve-element endoplasmic reticulum: A focal point of phytoplasma-host plant interaction?
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 The rough endoplasmic reticulum (r-ER) is of paramount importance for adaptive responses to biotic stresses due to an increased demand for de novo synthesis of immunity-related proteins and signaling components.

Epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity and circulating tumor cells: Travel companions to metastases [PDF]
Developmental Dynamics, 2017 Epithelial–mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) associated with metastatic progression may contribute to the generation of hybrid phenotypes capable of plasticity. This cellular plasticity would provide tumor cells with an increased potential to adapt to the different microenvironments encountered during metastatic spread.

Sieve Elements and Companion Cells—Traffic Control Centers of the Phloem [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1999 Of all the intricate cell–cell interactions in nature, those between the sieve element (SE) and its companion cell (CC) rank among the most complex and mysterious. Mature SEs are enucleate and retain only a highly degenerate cytoplasm, yet they can remain viable and functional for decades ([

Cytopathological evidence for transport of phytoplasma in infected plants
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Pleomorphic phytoplasmas were observed in sieve tubes, companion cells and in phloem parenchyma of Tagetes patula L., Helichrysum bracteatum Willd. and Gladiolus sp. L. plants with morphological changes typical for phytoplasma infection.

Network adaptation improves temporal representation of naturalistic stimuli in drosophila eye: II Mechanisms [PDF]
, 2009 Retinal networks must adapt constantly to best present the ever changing visual world to the brain. Here we test the hypothesis that adaptation is a result of different mechanisms at several synaptic connections within the network.

Solar-Like Cycle in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars [PDF]
, 2000 I propose that the mechanism behind the formation of concentric semi-periodic shells found in several planetary nebulae (PNs) and proto-PNs, and around one asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star, is a solar-like magnetic activity cycle in the progenitor AGB ...
