The role of liquid resin in orthodontic bonding : toxicological, bond strength and clinical aspects
(2000-01-07)
Dental acrylic composites are rarely fully polymerized in situ. Their unpolymerized components are related to undesirable occupational exposure to dental, particularly orthodontic, personnel. The aim of this study was to ...
The role of angiopoietin-like 4 in inflammation
(2017-05-04)
Inflammation is a homeostatically fundamental feature of the host defence surveillance system made up of an army of sentinel cells that guard against foreign intrusion. At the onslaught of an attack, primary immune responders ...
Antimicrobial peptides and proteins in innate immunity : emphasis on isolation, characterization and gene regulation
(2005-03-18)
Antimicrobial peptides are endogenous antibiotics and effector molecules
of Innate immunity. These peptides are mainly localised to epithelial
linings and circulating neutrophils. They kill microbes by disruption of
their ...
Molecular mechanisms in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
(2014-09-19)
Background: Myositis is a group of rare autoimmune diseases. Muscle weakness and fatigue
are the dominant symptoms and inflammation with T cells and macrophages is a
characteristic finding in muscle tissue. ...
Peripheral nerve glia as multipotent progenitors in craniofacial development
(2014-12-22)
Craniofacial development is complex. Numerous populations of progenitor cells coordinate
activities to produce an array of highly integrated tissues inside the developing head.
However, it is not clear how some key ...
Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5a : a potential regulator of adipocyte cell number and differentiation in white adipose tissue
(2015-04-02)
Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) exists in two isoforms, TRAP 5a which is monomeric and TRAP 5b which is a dimer generated by proteolytic cleavage of TRAP 5a, that exhibit different functions and localizations. ...
Side-chain oxidized oxysterols as metabolic regulators in vivo
(2017-02-28)
Oxysterols are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol characterized by a very short half- life and their ability to pass lipophilic membranes easily, and they are considered as important intermediates in the excretion ...
The diverse role of laminin isoforms in neuronal cells, human mast cells and blood platelets
(2007-02-02)
The close interaction of cells with other cells and with extracellular
matrix (ECM) components is a prerequisite in a number of biological
activities. During development of the nervous system, axons often
navigate a ...
Host-microbe interactions in coxsackievirus infection : focus on innate immunity
(2010-05-28)
Coxsackievirus group B (CVB) is a common virus that usually causes only
mild symptoms in humans. However, occasionally these infections result in
severe diseases like meningitis, myocarditis and pancreatitis. In
addition, ...
Attempted suicide in Vietnam
(2006-10-05)
Suicide and attempted suicide is currently a major public health problem in rapidly developing countries but there are limited studies on this field in Asian countries. These are the first studies on suicidal behavior in ...
