Adhesive and mechanical regulation of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation in human bone marrow and periosteum-derived progenitor cells [PDF]
Biology Open, 2012 Summary It has previously been demonstrated that cell shape can influence commitment of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMCs) to adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, and other lineages.

Point distribution form model for spruce stems (Picea abies [L.] Karst.)
Journal of Forest Science, 2002 The paper deals with the construction of a point distribution form model for spruce stems. This model is based on the principal components analysis of variance-covariance matrix formed for the Procrustes residuals.

Understanding and Overcoming Immunosuppression Shaped by Cancer Stem Cells
Cancer Research, 2023 Abstract Use of immunotherapy in recent years has revolutionized cancer treatment for certain types of cancers. However, the broad utility of immunotherapy is limited because there are still many types of cancer that do not respond effectively.

Mechanical adaptations of cleavers (Galium aparine) [PDF]
, 2004 • Background and Aims Cleavers (Galium aparine) is a fast-growing herbaceous annual with a semi-self-supporting, scrambling-ascending growth habit. Mature plants often use upright species for support. It is common in hedgerows and on waste ground. This

Possible methods of Norway spruce (Picea abies[L.] Karst.) stem shape description
Journal of Forest Science, 2005 The paper shows a possibility of using Bookstein coordinates for stem shape studies. Bookstein coordinates are simplified to stem shape diameters, for which tests of multidimensional normality, variance-covariance matrix homogeneity, equality of mean ...

Femoral stem neck geometry determines hip range of motion shape: a computer simulation study
Bone & Joint Research, 2021 Aims: In computer simulations, the shape of the range of motion (ROM) of a stem with a cylindrical neck design will be a perfect cone. However, many modern stems have rectangular/oval-shaped necks. We hypothesized that the rectangular/oval stem neck will

A contribution to the knowledge of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stem shape
Journal of Forest Science, 2004 This is a study on the evaluation of stem shape in Scots pine. The experiments were carried out on 430 stems without bark, taken from 30 fully analysed sample trees that grew in 5 different locations in the Czech Republic. Generalized Procrustes analysis
