Salivary gland homeostasis is maintained through acinar cell self-duplication.
Current dogma suggests that salivary gland homeostasis is stem cell dependent. However, the extent of stem cell contribution to salivary gland maintenance has not been determined. We investigated acinar cell replacement during homeostasis, growth, and regeneration, using an inducible CreER(T2) expressed under the control of the Mist1 gene locus. Genetic labeling, followed by a chase period, sho...
متن کاملRobustness of topologically protected surface states in layering of Bi2Te3 thin films.
Bulk Bi2Te3 is known to be a topological insulator. We investigate surface states of Bi2Te3(111) thin films of one to six quintuple layers using density-functional theory including spin-orbit coupling. We construct a method to identify topologically protected surface states of thin film topological insulators. Applying this method to Bi2Te3 thin films, we find that the topological nature of the...
متن کاملIonic homeostasis in brain conditioning
Most of the current focus on developing neuroprotective therapies is aimed at preventing neuronal death. However, these approaches have not been successful despite many years of clinical trials mainly because the numerous side effects observed in humans and absent in animals used at preclinical level. Recently, the research in this field aims to overcome this problem by developing strategies wh...
متن کاملTheory of first-order layering transitions in thin helium films.
Thin liquid He films on graphite show evidence of layered growth with increasing number density via a succession of first-order phase transitions. These so-called ‘‘layering transitions’’ separate uniformly covering phases, such as monolayers and bilayers. The present work is a detailed theoretical study of such layering transitions using a Maxwell construction. We model the graphite surface by...
متن کاملSurface layering of liquids: Is surface tension the dominant factor?
Recent measurements show that the free surfaces of liquid metals and alloys are always layered, regardless of composition and surface tension, a result supported by three decades of simulations and theory. Recent theoretical work claims, however, that at low enough temperatures the free surfaces of all liquids should become layered, unless preempted by bulk freezing. Using x-ray reflectivity an...
