Injectable Hydrogel Membrane for Guided Bone Regeneration

Bioengineering, 2023
In recent years, multicomponent hydrogels such as interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) have emerged as innovative biomaterials due to the synergistic combination of the properties of each network.

Leptin and the skeleton [PDF]

Clinical Endocrinology, 2002
Leptin is a 167 amino acid hormonal protein product of the obesity gene that has been widely studied since its discovery by Zang et al . (1994). Initially described as being involved with satiety and energy balance, leptin was proposed to be the anti-obesity factor involved in a feedback loop from the adipocyte to the hypothalamus (Zang et al ., 1994).

Bioactivity of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Granules, the Control of a Needle-Like Apatite Layer Formation for Further Medical Device Developments

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bioceramics (hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate, or HA/TCP) for tissue engineering and drug delivery systems is a unique know-how. A mechanical mixture of HA and TCP does not lead to such bioactive ceramics.

Left Ventricular Remodeling in Non-syndromic Mitral Valve Prolapse: Volume Overload or Concomitant Cardiomyopathy?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular disorder that can be associated with mitral regurgitation (MR), heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Given the prognostic impact of these conditions, it is important to evaluate

An investigation on skeleton-based top-down modelling approaches of complex industrial product [PDF]

Journal of Graphic Engineering and Design, 2021
In industry, today’s approach to assembly design is still largely based on a bottom-up approach which, in contrast with the most advanced top-down techniques, is unfit to deal with very large and complex products.

Polysaccharide Hydrogels Support the Long-Term Viability of Encapsulated Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Ability to Secrete Immunomodulatory Factors

Stem Cells International, 2017
While therapeutically interesting, the injection of MSCs suffers major limitations including cell death upon injection and a massive leakage outside the injection site.

DEPTOR in Skeletal Development and Diseases

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Discovered in 2009, the DEP-domain containing mTOR-interacting protein, DEPTOR, is a known regulator of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), an evolutionarily conserved kinase that regulates diverse cellular processes in response to environmental ...

Connexins in the skeleton [PDF]

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2016
Shaping of the skeleton (modeling) and its maintenance throughout life (remodeling) require coordinated activity among bone forming (osteoblasts) and resorbing cells (osteoclasts) and osteocytes (bone embedded cells). The gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) has emerged as a key modulator of skeletal growth and homeostasis. The skeletal developmental

Exposure to environmental contaminants and folic acid supplementation intergenerationally impact fetal skeleton development through the paternal lineage in a rat model

Frontiers in Toxicology, 2022
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are ubiquitous in the environment, which is of concern since they are broadly toxic for wildlife and human health.

Living Skeletons:

, 2023
There are striking similarities between Sinai trafficking and human trafficking for ransom in Libya. This chapter presents evidence to compare the practices, including the experiences of detainees in the holding camps, the torture methods used to extract ransoms, and the use of mobile phones to broadcast the torture to relatives and facilitate payments.
