Traction Force Microscopy for Viscoelastic Substrates: A Semi‐Analytical Method

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A semi‐analytical viscoelastic traction force microscopy framework is introduced for quantifying time‐resolved cell tractions on flat finite‐thickness substrates. The method generalizes elastic traction force microscopy to Generalized Maxwell materials, identifies when elastic approximations remain valid and, when they do not, shows that inferred ...

Cortisol Exerts bi-phasic Regulation of Inflammation in Humans

Dose-Response, 2011
Natural and synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) have been used for decades to suppress inflammation. In this paper, we re-examine the role of the endogenous GC, cortisol, as a primary homeostatic regulator of the human inflammatory response to injury.

Lack of regulation of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 during short-term manipulation of GH in patients with hypopituitarism [PDF]

, 2009
Objective: Evidence from long-term clinical studies measuring urinary steroid ratios. and from in vitro studies, suggests that GH administered for longer than 2 months down-regulates 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 beta-HSD1), thereby ...

Highly Biomimetic Ectodermal Epithelial Organoids for Epithelial Barrier Stimulation Assays

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evaluating the potential toxicity of pharmaceuticals and biomaterials to ectodermal epithelia, such as the oral mucosa and skin, is indispensable in pre‐clinical assessments. However, this remains a challenge primarily owing to the lack of physiologically relevant and accurate screening models.

Urine cortisol in pigs of different MH-genotypes

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2003
Urine cortisol concentration was evaluated in German Landrace barrows of two MH-genotypes (NN, Nn) housed in metabolic cages. Furthermore, cortisol in urine was evaluated as a substitute measure of plasma cortisol values in pigs.

Lactation is Associated with Accelerated Postpartum Pelvic Floor Muscle Recovery in a Pregnant Simulated Birth Injury Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthy pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) are essential for proper pelvic floor function. The biggest risk factor for PFM dysfunction is injury sustained during vaginal childbirth, yet the factors that facilitate or impair PFM recovery from birth injury remain unknown.

Redefining the Diagnostic Approach to Adrenal Insufficiency: Re-Assessment of Baseline and Cortisol Increment Cut-Offs with the 1 µg Synacthen Test

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is an endocrine disorder characterized by inadequate cortisol production, leading to non-specific symptoms that delay diagnosis. The Low Dose Synacthen Test (LDST) is commonly used to evaluate adrenal

Comparison of two prepill cortisol concentrations in dogs with hypercortisolism treated with trilostane

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background The ideal method for monitoring trilostane therapy in dogs with hypercortisolism is still open to debate. Recently, determination of the pre-trilostane (prepill) cortisol concentration has been proposed to be more repeatable than either post ...
