Extraction of scaffolds, such as the meiotic spindles, a 3D tubular framework consisting of the microtubules, from conforcal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) data of a cell is a challenge in biological image processing. It is of major importance in the research of microtubule anchor proteins, and molecular motor mechanics. However, the scaffold is hidden within CLSM data due to the nature of li...

Synthetic materials mimicking the internal porous structure of natural dentin were prepared as nanohybrid matrix scaffolds made of poly(ethyl methacrylate-co-hydroxyethyl acrylate), pure and with a sol-gel-derived interpenetrated silica nanophase, with aligned tubular pores in the micrometer range typical of dentinal tissue. Some of them were internally coated with a layer of hydroxyapatite by ...

aim : the aim of this study was to assess the incidence of irritable bowel syndrome in women undergoing hysterectomy and tubular ligation. background : the results of previous studies have shown an increased incidence of irritable bowel syndrome after gynecological surgeries. patients and methods : participants were patients of alzahra and taleghani university hospitals in tabriz. one hundred a...

Tubular structures built from amphiphilic molecules are of interest for nano-sensing, drug delivery, and structuring of oils. In this study, we characterized the tubules built in aqueous suspensions of a cholesteryl nucleoside conjugate, cholesterylaminouridine (CholAU) and phosphatidylcholines (PCs). In mixtures with unsaturated PCs having chain lengths comparable to the length of CholAU, two ...

Melt electrowriting (MEW) is a promising additive manufacturing technique for tissue scaffold biofabrication. Successful application of MEW scaffolds requires strictly controlled mechanical behavior. This geometry be optimized to match native properties while simultaneously supporting cell attachment and proliferation. The objective this work investigate how geometric can exploited massively ta...

BACKGROUND Electrospun nanofibers have widespread putative applications in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. When compared to naturally occurring collagen matrices, electrospun nanofiber scaffolds have two distinct advantages: they do not induce a foreign body reaction and they are not at risk for biological contamination. However, the exact substrate, structure, and pr...

BACKGROUND The MAPK-organizer 1 (MORG1) play a scaffold function in the MAPK and/or the PHD3 signalling paths. Recently, we reported that MORG1+/- mice are protected from renal injury induced by systemic hypoxia and acute renal ischemia-reperfusion injury via increased hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Here, we explore whether MORG1 heterozygosity could attenuate renal injury in a murine model ...

tissue engineering based on the adipose derived stem cells  promote a strong strategy to propagation of bone, cartilage and fat tissues in the three-dimensional scaffolds, fabricated by combining biological materials with suitable and appropriate growth factors.  in this study, a peo scaffold was used to show that mesenchymal stem cells can attach well; the aim of this study was the investigati...

the current study conducted a finite element (fe) and experimental investigation on tubular channel angular pressing as a noble severe plastic deformation technique for producing ultrafine grained and nanostructure tubular components. to examine the effects of the tcap process on the strain distribution and deformation behavior, fe simulations were employed. the fe results demonstrated that equ...
