Metastable States in Two-Lane Traffic Flow Models With Slow-To-Start Rule [PDF]
Using computer simulations, we show that metastable states still occur in two-lane traffic models with slow to start rules. However, these metastable states no longer exist in systems where aggressive drivers (\textit{which do not look back before ...

VDR in salivary gland homeostasis and cancer
The vitamin D receptor (VDR) and its ligand 1,25(OH)2D3 (1,25D) impact differentiation and exert anti-tumor effects in many tissues, but its role in salivary gland has yet to be defined. Using immunohistochemistry (IHC), we have detected strong VDR expression in murine and human salivary gland ducts. Compared to normal gland, VDR protein expression was

Absence of vitamin D receptor (VDR)‐mediated PPARγ suppression causes alopecia in VDR‐null mice
ABSTRACT Vitamin D receptor (VDR) mutations in humans and mice cause alopecia. VDR‐null (VDR −/− ) mice exhibit lack of postmorphogenic hair cycles as a result of impaired keratinocyte stem cell (KSC) function.

Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis involves the administration of antimicrobials to reduce the risk of a surgical site infection and represents a significant proportion of all antimicrobial use in cats and dogs. This evidence‐based, European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Therapy guideline provides recommendations for both peri ...

Relationship between vitamin D deficiency and early implant failure and osseointegration
Abstract Background This systematic review investigated the relationship between pre‐operative vitamin D levels and implant osseointegration and implant‐related outcomes. It also assessed studies involving vitamin D supplementation before implant placement.

In vitro muscle contraction: A technical review on electrical pulse stimulation in C2C12 cells
Abstract Electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) of skeletal muscle cells is increasingly used to model exercise In vitro. The murine C2C12 myotube system has become a common platform for such studies, yet wide variability in EPS protocols hampers reproducibility and cross‐study comparisons.

Abstract Cathelicidins are evolutionarily conserved host defence peptides known for their dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory functions. Among them, LL‐37 in humans and CRAMP in rodents have emerged as crucial regulators of both mucosal immunity and CNS inflammation.
