The concentration of ionized calcium required for the capping of barbed filament ends by villin is about 4 orders of magnitude lower than that required for the cutting activity of villin. Capping was 50% complete at about 10-30 nM Ca2+, a level expected in resting cells, whereas the cutting rate was half-maximal at about 200 microM, making it possible to completely separate filament capping fro...

The ubiquitous m7G cap of eukaryotic mRNAs and of precursors to the spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) is the result of an essential RNA modification acquired during transcript elongation. In trypanosomes, the m7G cap is restricted to the spliced leader (SL) RNA and the precursors of U2, U3, and U4 snRNAs. mRNA capping in these organisms occurs posttranscriptionally by trans splicing, whi...

Thin films of topological insulators are often capped with an insulating layer since topological insulators are known to be fragile to degradation. However, capping can hinder the observation of novel transport properties of the surface states. To understand the influence of capping on the surface states, it is crucial to understand the crystal structure and the atomic arrangement at the interf...

diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which affects the healing ability of the pulp and periodontium. the aim of the present study was to assess the histopathologic response of dental pulp to pulp capping using mta or cem cement in diabetic rats. thirty two wistar male rats aged between 8 and 10 weeks (weight: 200-250g) were divided into two groups of diabetic (n=16) and healthy (n=16) animals...

statement of problem: recently, it has been proposed that different adhesive materials can be used for direct pulp capping. previous studies have demonstrated that multi steps dentin adhesives could form reparative dentin similar to calcium hydroxide (ch). purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the histological pulp response of ninety mechanically exposed cat pulps to two adhesive resin...

introduction: direct pulp capping (dpc) is coverage of exposed pulp by a biocompatible material after traumatic or carious exposure. the purpose of this procedure is to seal against bacterial leakage, stimulate dentinal barrier formation, and maintain the vitality of pulp. several factors contribute to the consequence of this treatment such as material and the procedural technique. the aim of t...

Incorporating a one-dimensional (1D) perovskite capping layer on top of absorber, improves the stability solar cells (PSCs). Dissimilarity matrices gives an comparison overview across capping-absorber pairs.

introduction: ca(oh) 2 -containing/forming materials are conventionally used for indirect pulp-capping and are theoretically able to release ca 2+ and oh - ions for hydrolytic dissociation. however, no evidence exists for ion diffusion through the remaining coronal dentin. the aim of this study was to design an innovative experimental set-up to test the ability of ca(oh) 2 -containing and ca(oh...
