Surface modification of an Al2O3/SiO2 based ceramic treated with CO2, Nd:YAG, excimer and high power diode lasers for altered wettability characteristics [PDF]
Interaction of CO2, Nd:YAG, excimer and high power diode laser (HPDL) radiation with the surface of an Al2O3/SiO2 based ceramic was found to affect significant changes in the wettability characteristics of the material.

Protective Effect of Docetaxel Against Autophagy-Related Genes in Vitrification of Mouse Metaphase II Oocytes [PDF]
Background: Autophagy is a conservative mechanism for cell survival as the main response of cells to stress conditions. The present study aimed to assess the effect of docetaxel on the survival, fertilization, and expression of autophagy-related genes in

Kinetic glass behavior in a diffusive model [PDF]
Three properties of the Edwards-Anderson model with mobile bonds are investigated which are characteristic of kinetic glasses. First is two-time relaxation in aged systems, where a significant difference is observed between spin and bond autocorrelation ...

Vitrification of Human Germinal Vesicle Oocytes: before or after In Vitro Maturation? [PDF]
Background The use of immature oocytes derived from stimulated cycles could be of great importance, particularly for urgent fertility preservation cases. The current study aimed to determine whether in vitro maturation (IVM) was more successful before
