Loss of osteoprotegerin expression in the inner ear causes degeneration of the cochlear nerve and sensorineural hearing loss

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2013
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a key regulator of bone remodeling. Mutations and variations in the OPG gene cause many human diseases that are characterized by not only skeletal abnormalities but also poorly understood hearing loss: Paget's disease ...

Trajectory-Based Off-Policy Deep Reinforcement Learning

open access: yes, 2019
Policy gradient methods are powerful reinforcement learning algorithms and have been demonstrated to solve many complex tasks. However, these methods are also data-inefficient, afflicted with high variance gradient estimates, and frequently get stuck in ...

Learning gradients on manifolds

open access: yes, 2010
A common belief in high-dimensional data analysis is that data are concentrated on a low-dimensional manifold. This motivates simultaneous dimension reduction and regression on manifolds.

Minireview: The OPG/RANKL/RANK System [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrinology, 2001
The identification of the OPG/RANKL/RANK system as the dominant, final mediator of osteoclastogenesis represents a major advance in bone biology. It ended a long-standing search for the specific factor produced by preosteoblastic/stromal cells that was both necessary and sufficient for osteoclast development. The initial cloning and characterization of

Estradiol replacement attenuates alendronate‐associated adverse effects on alveolar bone repair in ovariectomized rats

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sodium alendronate (ALN) is widely used to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, but both estrogen deficiency and antiresorptive therapy may impair alveolar bone repair after tooth extraction. A clinically relevant but insufficiently explored scenario involves estrogen‐deficient individuals receiving hormone replacement therapy (HRT ...

Combined Effects of Puerarin and Adipose‐Derived Stem Cells on Alveolar Bone Preservation and Inflammation Control in Periodontitis Through p38MAPK Modulation

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the effects of puerarin and adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs), alone or combined, on p38MAPK activity, alveolar bone preservation, and inflammatory responses in a rat periodontitis (PD) model and in vitro. ADSCs were exposed to various puerarin concentrations to assess cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and ...

Frontiers of Bright CEP‐Stable Broadband Infrared Sources

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Bright CEP‐stable broadband infrared sources push the limits of ultrafast science by delivering exceptional brightness alongside few‐cycle durations and multi‐octave spectral coverage. This review highlights emerging architectures and nonlinear conversion strategies that scale power while preserving phase stability.

RANKL, OPG, and RUNX2 expression and epigenetic modifications in giant cell tumour of bone in 32 patients: association with clinicopathological characteristics and recurrence

open access: yesBone & Joint Research
Aims: The present study investigated receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) gene expressions in giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) patients in relationship with ...

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Eimeria saudiensis From Arabian Oryx (Oryx leucoryx) Held in Captivity in the Sultanate of Oman 阿曼苏丹国圈养阿拉伯羚羊 (Oryx leucoryx) 体内沙特艾美球虫 (Eimeria saudiensis) 的形态学与分子特征

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Eimeria saudiensis represents a genus of apicomplexan parasites capable of inducing coccidiosis in Arabian oryx. Our research concentrated on the morphological and molecular investigation of Eimeria spp. in the captive oryx herd in Oman. The therapeutic and management practices employed at the Mammals Breeding Center were reassessed to diminish ...
