Can adenine nucleotides predict primary nonfunction of the human liver homograft? [PDF]
Sixty-eight primary liver grafts were analyzed to see whether adenine nucleotides (AN: ATP, ADP, and AMP) or purine catabolites (PC: adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine) of tissue or effluent can predict primary graft nonfunction.

Thyroid Hormone as a Method of Reducing Damage to Donor Hearts after Circulatory Arrest [PDF]
There is a chronic lack of donor hearts to meet the need for heart transplant both in the US and worldwide. Further, the use of available hearts is limited by the short period between collection and implantation during which the heart can be safely ...

Long-Term Preservation of Rat Skin Tissue by Epigallocatechin-3--Gallate
Skin grafts can be preserved by cryopreservation and refrigerated storage at 4°C. Epigallocatechin-3- O -gallate (EGCG) enhances the viability of stored skin grafts and also extends the storage time up to 7 weeks at 4°C.

Silurian brachiopods with soft-tissue preservation
'Articulated' rhynchonelliformean brachiopods are abundant shelly fossils, but the direct fossil record of their soft parts was hitherto confined to a single pyritized trace possibly representing a lophophore. Anatomical knowledge of extinct rhynchonelliformeans relies heavily on analogies to extant species; these analogies are untested for stem-group ...

Fossilized skin reveals coevolution with feathers and metabolism in feathered dinosaurs and early birds [PDF]
Feathers are remarkable evolutionary innovations that are associated with complex adaptations of the skin in modern birds. Fossilised feathers in non-avian dinosaurs and basal birds provide insights into feather evolution, but how associated ...
