Fibrosis is a condition characterized by the overproduction of extracellular matrix (ECM) components (e.g., collagen) in the myofibroblasts, causing tissue hardening and eventual organ dysfunction. Currently, the molecular mechanisms that regulate ECM production in the myofibroblasts are still obscure. In this study, we investigated the function…[Read more]

The study objective was to determine prevalence of food insecurity and its associations with socioecological model (SEM) characteristics for undergraduate and graduate students. An online questionnaire was distributed to a convenience sample of students aged 18-34 at a Midwestern university. Of the 938 responses, 675 were complete for analysis.…[Read more]

ed by RT-qPCR to study the effects of ACAP2 overexpression on the maturation of miR-532. The role of ACAP2 and miR-532 in regulating the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia was analyzed by cell apoptosis assay. In this study we found that ACAP2 and mature miR-532 were both upregulated in plasma from MI patients. ACAP2 and mature miR-532…[Read more]

However, more prospective studies with global and multi-centre coordination may help to address CAPA in a better way.While psychologically informed environments (PIEs) are gaining in prominence in efforts to improve well-being and practice in the homeless sector, their empirical foundations remain tenuous. We present a unique scoping needs…[Read more]

atients with prior abdominal surgeries. Each patient should be evaluated for a minimally invasive procedure regardless of a history of previous operations.Efficient capture and release of circulating tumor cells play an important role in cancer diagnosis, but the limited affinity of monovalent adhesion molecules in existing capture technologies…[Read more]

101mm). No significant differences were found between the values of RMS of both entry-level 3D printers (p > 0.05). Layer thickness did not affect either the trueness or precision of the 3D-printed models (p > 0.05).

Entry-level LCD-based 3D printers are not as accurate as professional-grade 3D printer, but still close to orthodo…[Read more]
