Nogo-A, a membrane protein enriched in myelin of the adult CNS, inhibits neurite growth and regeneration; neutralizing antibodies or receptor blockers enhance regeneration and plasticity in the injured adult CNS and lead to improved functional outcome. Here we show that Nogo-A-specific knock-outs in backcrossed 129X1/SvJ and C57BL/6 mice display enhanced regeneration of the corticospinal tract ...

BACKGROUND Barrett's oesophagus is acquired by severe gastro-oesophageal reflux and is a premalignant condition. Acid suppression or anti-reflux surgery alone do not cause significant regression of the metaplastic mucosa nor reduce the malignant potential. Recent reports have suggested that the combination of mucosal ablation with acid suppression may result in squamous regeneration. AIMS To ...

context periodontal plastic surgery can help people improve their lives by addressing aesthetic parameters of their smile. much of what comprises a beautiful and appealing smile is influenced by emotion and personality; however, many structural elements of a smile can be improved through surgical intervention. evidence acquisition the end result often lends significant support to people who wis...

ABSTRACT. We prove that every nearest neighbor random walk in i.i.d. environment in dimension greater than or equal to 4 that has an almost sure positive speed in a certain direction, an annealed invariance principle and some mild integrability condition for regeneration times also satisfies a quenched invariance principle. The argument is based on intersection estimates and a theorem of Boltha...

Saintpaulia ionantha Wendl. is a small flower, with variety of colors, which are commonly grown indoors for decorative purposes. Currently, micropropagation S. has been achieved certain results; however, the shoot quality as well number shoots regeneration was not high. In this study, effect LEDs system on multiplication and conducted. The leaves were cut into square patterns without main veins...

aucuparia is an important slow growth forest tree with medicinal, industrial and ornamental uses which is applied for reforestation in high altitude of mountain lands. this species has been endangered at northern forests of iran; therefore micropropagation of adult trees by bud culture may help to reforestation. the best sterilizing treatment was the buds washing with hgcl2% 0.1 solution for 7 ...

Integrated spectral and spatial analysis of high-resolution multispectral imagery provides a means to assess forest structural condition in a variety of applications. This paper describes a research program to develop methods for characterizing forest structural condition in assessment of damage due to anthropogenic and natural factors and in regeneration assessment. Three applications are pres...

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is characterized by the formation of bone at atypical sites. This type of ectopic bone formation is most prominent in skeletal muscle, most frequently resulting as a consequence of physical trauma and associated with aberrant tissue regeneration. The condition is debilitating, reducing a patient's range of motion and potentially causing severe pathologies resulting...

The regeneration of bone tissue is the main purpose of most therapies in dental medicine. For bone regeneration, calcium phosphate (CaP)-based substitute materials based on natural (allo- and xenografts) and synthetic origins (alloplastic materials) are applied for guiding the regeneration processes. The optimal bone substitute has to act as a substrate for bone ingrowth into a defect, as well ...

The regeneration of bone tissue is a main purpose of most therapies in dental medicine. 19 For bone regeneration, calcium phosphate (CaP)-based substitute materials based on natural (allo20 and xenografts) and synthetic origins (alloplastic materials) are applied for guiding the regeneration 21 processes. The optimal bone substitute has to act as a substrate for bone ingrowth into a defect, 22 ...
