Standard tissue culture practices involve propagating cells on tissue culture polystyrene (TCP) dishes, which are flat, 2-dimensional (2D) and orders of magnitude stiffer than most tissues in the body. Such simplified conditions lead to phenotypical cell changes and altered cell behaviors. Hence, much research has been focused on developing novel biomaterials and culture conditions that more cl...

During adaptation to high-contrast stimulation, retinal ganglion cell's responsiveness change is characterized by decreased firing rate and declined sensitivity. In order to examine the modification of information transmission properties of the ganglion cell during this adaptation process, neural activities were recorded extracellularly from the chicken retina using a multi-electrode recording ...

Sensory adaptation allows organisms to reach behavioral equilibrium with the ambient environment and respond primarily to changes in stimulation. Given its functional significance, it is not surprising that adaptation in the olfactory system exhibits many of the same characteristics as adaptation in other sensory systems, including vision. Repeated or prolonged exposure to an odorant typically ...

This study aimed to examine the effects of family adaptation on anxiety, and role Zhongyong thinking style intentional self-regulation in this association. A hypothetical model relationship between adaptation, style, self-regulation, anxiety was tested. convenience sampling method used survey 1192 pre-service teachers Yunnan Province a self-report scale. Data were collected using Family Adaptab...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect either a limited forage intake or concentrate supplementation prior adaptation high-concentrate diets on dry matter intake, ruminal pH, bacteria, and protozoa Nellore cattle. experiment designed as two 3×3 Latin square, six cannulated steers were used. Each experimental period composed by three feeding phases: pre-adaptation (14 days), (12 ...
