A 3D discrete model of the diaphragm and human trunk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper, a 3D discrete model is presented to model the movements of the trunk during breathing. In this model, objects are represented by physical particles on their contours. A simple notion of force generated by a linear actuator allows the model

Vitamin D Binding Protein, a Ligand of Integrin beta 1, Motivates Both Tumor Cells and Schwann Cells to Promote Perineural Invasion in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Group‐specific component protein (GC) promotes perineural invasion (PNI) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by activating Schwann cell dedifferentiation and by enhancing tumor–Schwann cell chemoattraction, independently of vitamin D transport. Integrin β1 (ITGB1) functions as a GC receptor in both cancer cells and Schwann cells.

IC100 blocks inflammasome activation induced by α-synuclein aggregates and ASC specks

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with chronic sterile inflammation and persistent inflammasome activation involving α-synuclein and ASC protein aggregates, but the underlying mechanisms of the neuroinflammatory response remain unclear.

Micro/Nanorobots for Combating Brain Disorders: Challenges, Advances, and Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Micro/nanorobots (MNRs) offer a transformative approach for precision therapy in brain disorders. By overcoming biological barriers and enabling controlled propulsion, targeted delivery, and real‐time imaging/tracking, MNRs pave the way toward effective, minimally invasive treatments. This review outlines the interplay between brain disease challenges,

External Validation of an Automated Surgical Step Recognition Model for Robotic Distal Gastrectomy (RDG) Using a Multicenter Dataset

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Our present study reveals that surgical step recognition performs moderately well when trained on video data from a single institution and applied to an external institution's data. Nevertheless, our model substantially improves its prediction capabilities when trained on the same amount of data from multiple institutions.

The Use of Antisense-Mediated Inhibition to Delineate The Role of Inflammatory Agents in The Pathophysiology of Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2002
Injuries to the central nervous system (CNS) usually lead to a potent and acute inflammatory response[1]. During this period, glia and immune cells respond to chemical cues associated with the debris of lysed neurons, disrupted axons, and a broken blood ...

Declaraciones de Deseo y Declaraciones de Realidad : State-Indigenous Relations and Intercultural-Bilingual Education in Peru and Guatemala [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Ethnic diversity has historically created conflict in many nation-states throughout the globe. From the era of nation-state formation to the present, states have had various strategies for dealing with this diversity. These strategies can be divided into
