The lateral eye of Limulus is innervated by an efferent system of fibers containing a substance P-like peptide. They were detected and their distribution was studied using indirect immunocytochemical techniques and monoclonal and serum antibodies. These thin, efferent fibers travel up the optic nerve, cross the lateral plexus, and branch out profusely when reaching the ommatidial layer. Innerva...

objective: tissue engineering is an (interdisciplinary field that applies polymeric scaffolds to control tissue formation in three-dinemtion (3d). the scaffold provides the microenvironment (synthetic temporary extracellular matrix) for regenerative cells, supporting cell attachment, proliferation, differentiation, and neo tissue genesis due to their suitable chemical, physical and biological s...

Composite wood materials, also known as engineered products, are fabricated from veneer, particles, strands, flakes, or fibers that bonded together with synthetic renewable, biobased adhesive systems and designed to meet a wide range of structural non-structural applications [...]

UNLABELLED Electrospun fibers are being studied and developed because they hold considerable promise for realizing some advantages of nanostructured materials. The fibers can be made of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers. Electrospinning has therefore attracted interest in biotechnology and medicine, and there has been rapid growth in this area in recent years. This review presents an int...

PURPOSE To report the clinicopathologic features of a case of conjunctival synthetic fiber granuloma. CASE REPORT A 6-year-old girl presented with a slow-growing red nodule in the right inferior conjunctival sac with no history of surgery or trauma. Histopathological examination revealed foreign body type granulomatous inflammation around birefringent fibers of variable colors consistent with...

Lately, natural fibers have been gaining consideration in development of composites due to its biodegradability, availability and low-cost compared synthetic fibers. Natural are renewable sources, biodegradable, environmentally friendly effortless machinery. In this paper, the manufacturing production for fiber reinforced polymer composite (NFRC) will be reviewed. These including injection mold...

Recombinant spider silk has emerged as a biomaterial that can circumvent problems associated with synthetic and naturally derived polymers, while still fulfilling the potential of native material. The artificial protein NT2RepCT be produced spun into fibers without use harsh chemicals here we evaluate key properties dope at native-like concentrations. We show recapitulates not only overall seco...

Chitosan is an amino polysaccharide found in nature, which is biodegradable, nontoxic and biocompatible. It has versatile features and can be used in a variety of applications including films, packaging, and also in medical surgery. Recently a possibility to diversify chitosan properties has emerged by combining it with synthetic materials to produce novel natural-synthetic hybrid polymers. We ...

Repetitive abrupt structural changes can be produced in a small piece of cross-linked polyacrylate hydrogel by exchanging the divalent counter-ions in the superficial gel layer to monovalent cations. The temporal variations of the hydrostatic pressure, electric impedance and potential associated with these structural changes frequently show striking resemblance to those encountered during repet...
