An Implantable Phototriggered Prodrug Depot Patch Enables Actively Programmable Drug Release for Post‐Myocardial Infarction Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An implantable phototriggered prodrug depot patch (iPDP) is presented that enables actively programmable drug release post‐implantation. Covalently conjugated prodrug ensures minimal leakage; illumination parameters serve as a code to precisely control dose per release.

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Morphofunctional structure of the lingual papillae in three species of South American Camelids: Alpaca, guanaco, and llama

, 2016
The aim of this study was to compare the anatomical and functional characteristics of the lingual papilla among the Camelidae. For this purpose, tongues of alpaca, guanaco, and llama were used. Numerous long and thin filiform papillae were located in the

Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 Controls Maintenance of Fungiform Papillae by Repressing Sonic Hedgehog Expression

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: How tissue patterns are formed and maintained are fundamental questions. The murine tongue epithelium, a paradigm for tissue patterning, consists of an array of specialized fungiform papillae structures that harbor taste cells.

Light and scanning electron microscopic study of the lingual structure in the budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2017
BACKGROUND: The tongue, which plays a very important role in food intake by vertebrates, exhibits significant morphological variations that appear to represent adaptation to the current environmental conditions of each respective habitat. OBJECTIVES: The

Morphology of the Lingual Papillae in the Raccoon Dog and Fox

Okajimas Folia Anatomica Japonica, 2006
The dorsal lingual surfaces of the raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) and fox (Vulpes vulpes japonica) were examined by scanning electron microscopical (SEM) observations. The distribution and type of the lingual papillae found in the raccoon dog were similar to those in the fox. Filiform, fungiform, foliate and vallate papillae were observed. The

Different shape but the same topographical complexity—The lingual gross anatomy of the Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the distinctly different shapes of their tongues, the tongue gross anatomy of Saimaa ringed seal closely resembled that of Baltic ringed seal. There were no differences in the extrinsic and intrinsic tongue muscles or their associated vascularization and innervation between Saimaa and Baltic ringed seals.

Ultrastructural aspects of lingual papillae in squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)

, 2011
Saimiri sciureus is one of the smallest Cebidae native of Amazon region and also found at the biological reserve of northeast Atlantic forest. It is an omnivore animal, with diversified diet that directly influences the lingual mucosa, which includes ...

Single flap approach combined with periosteal pedicle flap as a regenerative procedure: A case report

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Single flap approach (SFA) is a validated procedure for obtaining clinical attachment gain and pocket closure when applied to deep intraosseous defects. However, the presence of an interdental crater as well as the tooth location were associated with a lower rate of primary intention closure, possibly jeopardizing the outcome of the

Five‐year tomographic and clinical evaluation of the socket shield technique: Case report

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The socket shield technique, one modality of partial extraction therapy, aims to preserve periodontal tissues and maintain the buccal alveolar bone volume following immediate implant placement or in prosthetic pontic sites, by the strategic maintenance of a tooth root fragment.
