Circulating osteogenic precursor (COP) cells are a population of progenitor cells in the peripheral blood with the capacity to form bone in vitro and in vivo.They have characteristics Construction Set Toys of the mesenchymal stem and progenitor pool found in the bone marrow; however, more recently, a population of COP cells has been identified with
Objective(s): This study aimed to determine the effect of ischemic occlusion duration and recovery time course on motor and cognitive function, identify optimal conditions for assessing cognitive function with minimal interference from motor deficits, and elucidate the underlying mechanism of axonal inhibitors.Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley
Although steel reinforcements are used to withstand tensile forces in concrete, cracks are an unavoidable phenomenon.The presence of cracks, in fact, increases the risk for lowering the service life and durability of concrete structures.A critical issue occurs when due to splitting forces, cracks appear in concrete along the tensioned rebars which
Land use and land cover (LULC) change is one anthropogenic disturbance linked to infectious disease emergence.Current research has focused largely on wildlife and vector-borne zoonotic diseases, neglecting to investigate landscape disturbance and environmental bacterial infections.One example is Buruli ulcer (BU) disease, a necrotizing skin disease
Jellyfish uses jet propulsion to achieve a diversity of propulsion modes in the water.In this article, a miniature jellyfish-inspired swimming robot is designed and built, which is capable of executing horizontal and vertical propulsion and maneuvers.In order to imitate the jellyfish in terms of morphology and kinematics, the robotic jellyfish is d
