Tripartite Line Tracks - Bipartite Line Tracks
Theories of shapes are important for object recognition and for reasoning about the behaviour of objects, both tasks strongly constrained by shape. Whereas the extraction of shape properties has extensively been studied in vision, there is still a lack of qualitative shape descriptions which allow reasoning about shapes with AI techniques in a flexible manner. In this paper we present a qualita...
متن کاملDiseases associated with leaky hemichannels
Hemichannels (HCs) and gap junction channels (GJCs) formed by protein subunits called connexins (Cxs) are major pathways for intercellular communication. While HCs connect the intracellular compartment with the extracellular milieu, GJCs allow the interchange of molecules between cytoplasm of two contacting cells. Under physiological conditions, HCs are mostly closed, but they can open under ce...
متن کاملHemichannels in cardiomyocytes open transiently during ischemia and contribute to reperfusion injury following brief ischemia.
The aim of this study was to investigate changes in hemichannel activity during in vitro simulated ischemia [oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)] and the contribution of hemichannels to ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. Dye uptake assays showed that hemichannels opened as OGD progressed, peaking after 1 h, and then closed, returning to the pre-OGD state after 2 h of OGD. ...
متن کاملTracks of ancient cosmetics in the modern era of cosmetics
Cosmetics is as old as the history of human being. It has been present in human life since the times of the most ancient civilizations. Perfumery is one of the oldest branches of cosmetics. Valerian perfumes found from the Pharaohs’ pyramids, had maintained their aroma. Coriander, Mace oil, cardamom, cinnamon, and juniper were also the favorite materials used for perfumery in ancient Egyptian c...
متن کاملModulation of Cx46 hemichannels by nitric oxide.
Gap-junction hemichannels are composed of six protein subunits (connexins). Undocked hemichannels contribute to physiological autocrine/paracrine cell signaling, including release of signaling molecules, cell-volume regulation, and glucose uptake. In addition, hemichannels may be pathologically activated by dephosphorylation and cell-membrane depolarization. Such hemichannel opening may induce ...
