Oral administration of pyrophosphate inhibits connective tissue calcification
Various disorders including pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) and generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI), which are caused by inactivating mutations in ABCC6 and ENPP1, respectively, present with extensive tissue calcification due to reduced ...

Viability of Periosteal Tissue Obtained Postmortem
Periosteal autografts have the potential to regenerate articular cartilage defects, but this potential is limited by the patient's age. Allograft transplantation from a young donor to an older recipient might bypass this limitation.

Studies on the treatment of malignant tumors with fibroblast-inhibiting agent. II. Effects of chloroquine on animal tumors [PDF]
Based on our original concept, a fibroblast-inhibiting agent, chloroquine, was used against various animal tumors. Among transplanted animal tumors, the drug was most effective on relatively connective tissue-rich Bashford and Brown-Pearce tumors, as ...

Association study between immune-related miRNAs and mixed connective tissue disease
Background Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a rare condition that is distinguished by the presence of specific U1-RNP antibodies. Information about its etiopathology and diagnostics is still unclear.

Differential tissue sparing of FLASH ultra high dose rates: an {\it in-silico} study [PDF]
Purpose: To propose a theory for the differential tissue sparing of FLASH ultra high dose rates (UHDR) through inter-track reaction-diffusion mechanism. Methods: We calculate the time-evolution of particle track-structures using a system of coupled reaction-diffusion equations on a random network designed for molecular transport in porous and ...

Collective cell migration of epithelial cells driven by chiral torque generation [PDF]
Various multicellular tissues show chiral morphology. Experimental studies have shown this can originate from cell chirality. However, no theory has been proposed to connect the cellular chiral torque and multicellular chiral morphogenesis. We propose a model of confluent tissue dynamics with cellular chiral torque.
