Aiming at the lack of a precise discrete element model in simulation analysis corn straw crushing, this paper established bond models with different structure and particle properties based on Hertz-Mindlin bonding, verified by combining physical test optimization design methods. Firstly, study generates bonded bonding for epidermis-epidermis, inner flesh-internal flesh, epidermis-internal respe...

Despite the significant advances in regenerative medicine, wound healing has remained a challenging clinical problem. Skin is the largest human organ with many vital functions; therefore, any damage to its normal structure should be treated as soon as possible. Easy access to skin stem cells has created a lot of excitement in therapeutic applications. “Cell therapy” is considered a novel method...

Topical all-trans retinoic acid (RA) produces a number of epidermal changes which are indistinguishable from those observed following treatment with a local irritant, namely sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). This observation has led to criticism that the efficacy of RA in disorders such as photoageing, is merely a result of irritancy. In stratified epithelia, the cellular differentiation process is...

The epidermis of Ostariophysi fish is composed of 4 main cell types: epidermal cells (or filament containing cells), mucous cells, granular cells and club cells. The morphological analysis of the epidermis of the catfish Pimelodella lateristriga revealed the presence of only two types of cells: epidermal and club cells. The latter were evident in the middle layer of the epidermis, being the lar...

microbial cells have been successfully used as biosorbents to remove heavy metals from wastewater. in some cases, dead cells appear to offer more advantages than living cells in the removal and recovery of heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater. maintaining higher biosorption capability and understanding the biosorption properties of dead cells are the keys to heavy metal removal and recov...

background: while articular chondrocytes are among those appropriate candidates for cartilage regeneration, the cell dedifferentiation during monolayer culture has limited their application. several investigations have indicated the usefulness of alginate, but the topic of proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes in alginate culture has still remained controversial. methods: rat articu...

Lineage tracing involves labeling cells to track their subsequent behavior within the normal tissue environment. The advent of genetic lineage tracing and cell proliferation assays, together with high resolution three-dimensional (3D) imaging and quantitative methods to infer cell behavior from lineage-tracing data, has transformed our understanding of murine epidermal stem and progenitor cells...

The process of epithelial morphogenesis defines the structure of epidermal tissue sheets. One such sheet, the ventral epidermis of the Drosophila embryo, shows both intricate segmental patterning and complex cell organization. Within a segment, cells produce hair-like denticles in a stereotypical and highly organized pattern over the surface of the tissue. To understand the cell biological basi...
