Biphasic regulation of chondrocytes by Rela through induction of anti-apoptotic and catabolic target genes

Nature Communications, 2016
Rela is a transcription factor shown to have seemingly contradictory roles in anabolism and catabolism of cartilage. Here the authors find that Rela prevents chondrocyte apoptosis and that homozygous knockout causes accelerated osteoarthritis in adults ...

3D Indoor Positioning of UAVs with Spread Spectrum Ultrasound and Time-of-Flight Cameras

Sensors, 2017
This work proposes the use of a hybrid acoustic and optical indoor positioning system for the accurate 3D positioning of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The acoustic module of this system is based on a Time-Code Division Multiple Access (T-CDMA) scheme,

Midterm results of revision total hip arthroplasty for migrated bipolar hemiarthroplasty in patients with hip osteoarthritis using cementless cup with the rim-fit technique

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2020
Purpose: The results of reamed bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) are reported to be unfavorable. Acetabular reaming for sufficient bony coverage caused bipolar head migration into the superomedial direction, and most

Wnt/β-catenin signaling contributes to articular cartilage homeostasis through lubricin induction in the superficial zone

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Both loss- and gain-of-function of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in chondrocytes result in exacerbation of osteoarthritis (OA). Here, we examined the activity and roles of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in the superficial zone (SFZ) of articular cartilage.

Sensitive and selective phenol sensing in denitrifying Aromatoleum aromaticum EbN1T

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Aromatoleum aromaticum EbN1T anaerobically degrades phenol, p-cresol, and p-ethylphenol, each via a distinct peripheral pathway. The compound-specific regulation of each pathway is proposed to occur on the transcriptional level in the case of phenol ...

A calibratable sensory neuron based on epitaxial VO2 for spike-based neuromorphic multisensory system

Nature Communications, 2022
Neuromorphic perception systems inspired by biology have tremendous potential in efficiently processing multi-sensory signals from the physical world, but a highly efficient hardware element capable of sensing and encoding multiple physical signals is ...

Transplanting Neural Progenitor Cells into a Chronic Dorsal Column Lesion Model

Biomedicines, 2022
Cell transplantation therapy is a promising strategy for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. Despite advancements in the development of therapeutic strategies in acute and subacute SCI, much less is known about effective strategies for chronic SCI.
