Bioactuators In article 2300151 by Robert K. Katzschmann and co-workers, a perfusable, biohybrid design enables the extrusion-based bioprinting of centimeter-scale skeletal muscle tissue that is cointegrated with synthetic anchors for mechanical stimulation crossed longitudinal channels passive liquid perfusion, which supports cell viability all over volume allows drug delivery distribution tes...

gene expression profiling of ovarian carcinoma tissues has shown an increase of four-fold expression of sort1 gene. sortilin 1 (ntr-3) is a 95-100 kda protein normally expressed in heart, brain, placenta, skeletal muscle, spinal cord, thyroid, and testis. however, its expression has never been reported in normal ovary. here, we report expression of sortilin 1 in ovarian carcinoma tissues both a...

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common clinical feature among patients with severe burns. Previous studies have shown that miRNAs play critical roles in the regulation of stress-induced skeletal muscle atrophy. Our previous study showed that burn-induced skeletal muscle atrophy is mediated by miR-628. In this study, compared with sham rats, rats subjected to burn injury exhibited skeletal muscle a...

nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (bcns) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. multiple organ systems may be affected in this syndrome including abnormalities of the skin, skeletal system, genitourinary system and central nevus system. in this report, we present a case of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in a 26-year-old male patient. the patient had multiple odontogenic keratocys...

isolated skeletal metastasis to the bony calvarium is extremely rare in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. we describe the clinical and imaging findings in a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix with metastases to the bony calvarium as the sole site of metastasis. the patient was a 65-year-old woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, f...

The cell-cell adhesion molecule N-cadherin, with its associated catenins, is expressed by differentiating skeletal muscle and its precursors. Although N-cadherin's role in later events of skeletal myogenesis such as adhesion during myoblast fusion is well established, less is known about its role in earlier events such as commitment and differentiation. Using an in vitro model system, we have d...

backgroundsitting on inappropriate benches, as well as the poor posture (body position) during the years of growth, can lead to spinal disorders, fatigue and discomfort in students. this study aimed to investigate the relationship between features of desks and chairs and prevalence of some musculoskeletal disorders in primary school students in abadan.materials and methodsthis cross-sectional s...

background prediction of skeletal growth is necessary for growth modification and surgical orthodontic treatments and is usually done by assessing skeletal maturity indicators in hand-wrist radiographs. the use of growth stages of cervical vertebrae in lateral cephalograms has been suggested to avoid overexposure. objectives this study seeks to assess the degree of agreement between hand-wrist ...

skeletal muscle is a highly differentiated tissue with very specific functions which has low potential of regeneration. skeletal muscle injuries especially in athletes almost have lead to muscular dysfunctions and healing may be prolonged for several years. therefore, working on skeletal muscle differentiation remained an importance in biomedical researches. adipose derived stem cells (adscs) a...
