Direct Reprogramming of Neural Stem Cells into Oligodendrocyte Progenitors by Defined Factors
(2013)
Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the CNS in which the protective myelin sheaths composed of myelinating cells called oligodendrocytes which surround the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged, leading ...
Acid-sensitive chitosan-based nanocapsules for anticancer drug delivery
(2013)
Novel biodegradable chitosan-based nanocapsules with well-defined acid-sensitive structures were prepared by the synthesis of N-maleyl-functionalized chitosan (NCS), followed by interfacial cross-linking of NCS with a ...
Adhesive bone bonding prospects for lithium disilicate ceramic implants
(2013)
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) implants articulating mandible with temporal bone in humans have a very high failure rate. Metallic TMJ implants available in the medical market are not osseointegrated, but bond only by ...
Analysis of the swimming behavioral response of western blacknose dace in a turbulence modified flow field
(2013)
Fish passage success rates through hydraulic infrastructure have been historically low due to flow field conditions that exceed the physical or behavioral capabilities of a given species. Significant efforts to design and ...
Critical evaluation of stream restoration practice: A Western New York case study
(2013)
To address degradation caused by past anthropogenic actions (e.g., stream channelization, installation of dams and levees), stream restoration activities have occurred in the U.S. and worldwide with the goal of returning ...
Human alveolar osteoblast response to date-expired dental implants renewed by hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilization
(2013)
Dental implants, otherwise uncompromised, are occasionally found to be date-expired within intact or opened packages, denying their clinical use unless they can be reliably re-sterilized and made equivalent in reaction to ...
Finite Element Analysis of Abdomen Cross-Section during Trocar Insertion
(2013)
Surgery is a typical medical invasive procedure. In surgical operations, there are two procedures for entering the site (area of operation). These are traditional open surgery and minimally invasive surgery. The traditional ...
TLR2 Signaling and Th2 Responses Drive Tannerella forsythia -Induced Periodontal Bone Loss
(2013)
Periodontal disease (PD) is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease that is triggered by the colonization and invasion of periodontopathic bacteria, particularly by a select group of Gram-negative anaerobes. Foremost ...
Techniques for the Enhancement of Optimization Schemes in Radiation Therapy
(2013)
With the advent of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), the process of generating a radiotherapy treatment plan has become a complex and time consuming process due to an increase in the number of variables which ...
A Role for Hippocampal Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF) Production in Streptozotocin (STZ)-Induced Diabetic Neuropathy
(2013)
In the central nervous system, the pro-inflammatory cytokine and protein mediator, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), plays an important role in development of neuropathic pain. Studies have shown that suppression of TNF in the ...
