At the Cutting Edge: The Structures that Underlie Normal Reproductive Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanisms and physiology of reproductive function have fascinated scientists throughout time. Recent cellular and molecular level structural studies have provided unprecedented insights into reproductive systems and signaling networks. This ‘cutting edge’ editorial provides a recent example in each of these areas, namely, the anatomical integrity of the follicle, the molecular structure of activin with its binding partners and the molecular regulation of inhibin. These three examples of structure informing function help explain reproductive health and may provide solutions to reproductive disease.

متن کاملExperimental Study of the Effect of Laser-Cutting Process Parameters on Heat Distribution and Cutting Edge Quality of Steel Sheets
This study aimed to evaluate Laser-cutting process of Mild Steel St37 sheets with two different thicknesses. In order to evaluate the quality of cutting edge and the depth of the area affected by the heat, several tests were conducted to determine the effect of parameters such as Laser power, Laser beam movement speed and pressure of axillary gas on the quality of cutting edge and the depth of ...
متن کاملStructure of the orifice of the renal artery in the abdominal aorta in adult male dog
One of the locations of renal artery atherosclerosis is at the orifice of the renal artery, therefore thestructure of this orifice was assessed in 6 normal, adult male dogs by light microscopy (LM) andtransmission electron microscopy (TEM). For the LM study, processed tissues were embedded in paraffinand sectioned serially into 6-μm thickness. Sections were stained with orcein. For the TEM stud...
متن کاملLeast squares weighted residual method for finding the elastic stress fields in rectangular plates under uniaxial parabolically distributed edge loads
In this work, the least squares weighted residual method is used to solve the two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problem of a rectangular plate of in-plane dimensions 2a 2b subjected to parabolic edge tensile loads applied at the two edges x = a. The problem is expressed using Beltrami–Michell stress formulation. Airy’s stress function method is applied to the stress compatibility equation, and th...
متن کاملRANDOMIZED TRIAL COMPARING ROLLERBALL ABLATION WITH CUTTING LOOP ENDOMETRIAL RESECTION IN THE TREATMENT OF MENORRHAGIA
In order to compare the clinical efficacy, safety, success rate and probable complications of rollerball ablation with cutting loop endometrial resection in the treatment of menorrhagia, eighty-three women in reproductive age suffering from menorrhagia who did not respond to medication were treated in a randomized study comparing cutting loop endometrial resection with hysteroscopic rollerb...
