AN ASSESSMENT OF SUBADULT SKELETAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT BASED ON A MICHIGAN MEDICAL EXAMINER SAMPLE
… long bone measurements were used to estimate the skeletal age of the decedents. Overall, the decedents in this sample weigh more and have shorter lengths than expected, based on published standards, and the estimated ages of the full sample are not significantly different from their known …

Multidimensions of Poverty: An Analysis of the Differential Effects of Racism and Poverty on Skeletal Growth
… pollutants, have variable effects on human growth and development depending on the conditions to which individuals and populations are subject. Understanding how the long-term consequences of food scarcity and pollution will affect the human body in its entirety will better contribute to …

Combinatorial Roles Of Skeletal Cell Yap And Taz In Bone Growth, Remodeling, And Repair
During bone growth, remodeling, and fracture repair, skeletal lineage cell responses require the coordinated activation of multiple transcriptional programs. As defective genetic regulation of bone formation leads to both developmental and metabolic skeletal diseases, identifying and characterizing …

Short-Range Inter-Blastomere Signaling Specifies Ectodermal Fate and is Required for Skeletal Patterning in the Sea Urchin
… of the mesenchymal cells that produce the skeletal rods, and patterning inputs from the ectoderm, which secretes signals directing the growth and shape of the skeleton. To understand patterning of the skeleton therefore, the specification events behind these two processes must be understood …

A Study of Craniofacial Growth in Infant Heart Transplant Recipients Receiving Cyclosporine
… cyclosporine as adversely affecting craniofacial growth in the pediatric population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible untoward effects of cyclosporine long-term on craniofacial growth in a group of infant heart transplantation recipients. A prospective group (n=28) of …

Temporal milestones during childhood : identification of a maturational spurt
… by a series of predictable milestones in both growth (e.g., peak height velocity) and development (e.g., ossification of the adductor sesamoid). As such, the treatment of many skeletal growth and/or developmental disorders often includes a detailed skeletal assessment to predict the attainment …

A Continued Investigation of Craniofacial Growth in Infant Heart Transplant Recipients Receiving Cyclosporine
… cyclosporine as adversely affecting craniofacial growth in the pediatric population. The purpose of this follow-up study was to continue to evaluate the possible untoward effects of long-term use of cyclosporine on craniofacial growth in a group of infant heart transplantation recipients by …

The value of limited grain-high roughage rations and cud inoculation for raising dairy calves
… 1. Cud inoculations did not improve rate of growth or efficiency of feed utilization in calves through four months of age. Consumption of hay was not materially increased by cud inoculations. 2. Thus. it is concluded that cud inoculation is of no economic value under practical calf raising …

Implications of the interactions between genetic background and dietary phosphorus on porcine muscle
… is an essential nutrient for both muscular and skeletal growth. Because the sources of dietary P in contemporary swine diets are poorly available for the simple stomach animals, inorganic phosphate sources are supplemented to these diets to prevent P deficiency. However, with the identification …

Coral skeleton density banding: biotic response to changes in sea surface temperature
… and crystallization events and resulting skeletal growth rate remain uncertain. The coral tissue organic matrix, composed of macromolecules secreted by the calicoblastic ectoderm, is closely associated with skeletal precipitation and is itself incorporated into the skeleton. We postulate …

Geochemistry of slow-growing corals : reconstructing sea surface temperature, salinity and the North Atlantic Oscillation
… period. The high accretion rates, longevity, and skeletal growth bands found in coral skeletons make them an ideal resource for well-dated, seasonal climate reconstructions. Growing between 2 and 6 mm/year and reaching more than im in length, slow-growing corals provide multi-century records from …

Insulin-like growth factor-I in growing horses and RNA isolation from small articular cartilage samples
… (PL) and synovial fluid (SF) total insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) concentrations, as well as their association with measurements of skeletal growth in Thoroughbred horses. Horses were randomly assigned to one of two dietary treatment groups and fed diets with either a high or low starch …

Climate controls on coral growth in the Caribbean
… of the dominant environmental controls on coral growth. Corals exhibit significant responses to environmental variability occurring on multi-annual to decadal timescales, which are significantly longer than the duration of typical laboratory and field-based experiments. Skeletal growth records, …

MIT/TFE FACTORS CONTROL ER-PHAGY VIA TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION OF FAM134B
… reside in a poorly vascularized tissue, as the growth plate, with scarcity of nutrients, representing a good cellular model to study ER-phagy. We found that the nutrient responsive transcription factors TFEB and TFE3—master regulators of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy—control ER-phagy by …

The influence of reverse protein feeding on pullet growth and subsequent laying performance in the white leghorn
… heavier for most of the 20-week growing period. Skeletal growth was highly correlated with body weight, however body size was not different at 20 weeks. Cumulative feed intake of the control fed birds was significantly greater than five of the reverse protein fed birds. Feed conversion and …

Effects of hypothyroidism on pancreatic islet development and tissue insulin signalling pathways in the ovine fetus
… hormones are important regulators of fetal growth and maturation, although their mechanism of action and interactions with other hormones are unclear. The overall aim of the project was to elucidate the effects of hypothyroidism on the growth and development of the sheep fetus in late …

In Vitro and In Vivo Studies on Bone Formation
… of the in vivo effects of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-5 (IGFBP-5) as a potential means to treat osteoporosis.</p> <p>The first study compared two strains of inbred mice, one with high bone density and one with low bone density, to determine when and to what extent bone …

IDENTIFICATION OF GENETIC VARIANTS THROUGH WHOLE EXOMESEQUENCING IN PHENOTYPES WITH SKELETAL CLASS IIMALOCCLUSION BAD RESPONDERS
Skeletal malocclusions are complex craniofacial growth and developmental problems due to hereditary and environmental factors. They are a set of human morphologic characteristics that both exceed or present deficiency of maxillary and mandibular dimensions, resulting in an improper relationship of …
