Mice display robust, stereotyped behaviours towards pups: virgin males typically attack pups, whereas virgin females and sexually experiencedmales and females display parental care. Here we show that virginmales genetically impaired in vomeronasal sensing do not attack pups and are parental. Furthermore, we uncover a subset of galanin-expressing neurons in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) that a...

In the era of industry and technology in Indonesia, environmental problems due to waste are that require wise handling. Fly Ash (FA) from PLTU activities Spent Bleaching Earth (SBE) resulting palm oil production process very abundant, thus polluting environment. Indonesia is currently prioritizing physical infrastructure development, which aims improve connectivity encourage economic growth eve...

To comply with government’s environmental policies and to satisfy the requests of the consumers, recycling of waste paper is essential for reducing the consumption of virgin fibers in pulp and paper industry. However, the poor optical properties of recycled fibers restrict their use in value-added papers. Enzymes, such as lipase and laccase, represent an interesting alternative. The detachment ...

AIM Tetracycline-stained tooth structure is difficult to bleach using nightguard tray methods. The possible benefits of in-office light-accelerated bleaching systems based on the photo-Fenton reaction are of interest as possible adjunctive treatments. This study was a proof of concept for possible benefits of this approach, using dentine slabs from human tooth roots stained in a reproducible ma...

A mammary-derived growth inhibitor-related gene (MRG) was previously identified and characterized. MRG induces differentiation of mammary epithelial cells in vitro and its expression is associated with mammary differentiation. To further define the role of MRG on mammary gland differentiation, a MRG transgenic mice model under the control of mouse mammary tumor virus promoter was established an...

AIM To investigate the effect of nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma on intracoronal tooth bleaching in blood stained human teeth. METHODOLOGY Forty extracted single-root and blood stained human teeth were used. The teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n=20): group 1 received 30% HP activated by nonthermal atmospheric pressure plasma in the pulp chamber for 30 min, whilst group 2 r...

Maternal behavior of the sensitized virgin rat is affected by approach-avoidance systems as well as by hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is also activated during stress. The present experiments investigated the effects of adrenalectomy and of varying corticosterone concentrations on the onset and expression of maternal behavior in sensitized virgin rats. In the first experiment, ...

ince bleaching has become a popular procedure, the effect of peroxides on dental hard tissues is of great interest in research. Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to perform a qualitative analysis of the human enamel after the application of in-office bleaching agents, using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Materials and Methods: Twenty intact human third molars extracted for orthod...
