The Effects of Zinc on Skeletal Alkaline Phosphatase Activity and Skeletal Tissues
<p>Zinc is essential for normal growth, however, very little is known about the mechanisms by which zinc influences growth. ALP, an ectoenzyme expressed in high levels in osteoblasts, is a zinc-containing metalloenzyme and is important in bone formation. Preliminary studies showed that low levels …

Integrating biclustering techniques with de novo gene regulatory network discovery using RNA-seq from skeletal tissues
… regulated for stem cells to differentiate into skeletal tissues. It would also contribute to the classification of differences in normal skeletogenesis and degenerative conditions involving these tissues. The three predominant skeletal tissues of interest are bone, immature cartilage and mature …

Effects of Neurotrophic Factors on Osteoblast Growth and Differentiation
… may be influenced by the innervation of skeletal tissues. Innervation of skeletal tissues might directly influence bone volume by the release or secretion of osteogenic growth factors in the form of neuropeptides. These neuropeptides could act locally on osteoblasts to increase bone …

Human provenancing - combined isotopic and genetic profiling of limited bone and teeth material of ancient human remains
… be achievable due to the degraded nature of the skeletal tissues in both case studies. Strontium and lead isotope analysis could identify two possible migrants among the Spanish burial population. In the Norfolk case, isotopic evidence implied that the group was unlikely to be of local (Norfolk) …

Changes in joint laxity associated with the menstrual cycle, with pregnancy, with the post-partum period, and with the menopause
… of the menstrual cycle and the onset of musculo-skeletal injury. Following an extensive literature search studying the various hormones involved in the menstrual cycle, and their receptors in musculo-skeletal tissues, an interesting picture emerged that appeared to support the evidence evinced in …

Bone, antler, tooth and horn technology and utilisation in prehistoric Scotland
… concerned with the technology and utilisation of skeletal hard tissue in prehistoric Scotland. The natural properties of skeletal tissues were considered, their reaction to particular methods of manufacture and utilisation were studied and a detailed examination made of material from a number of …

Alutiiq Engineering: The Mechanics and Design of Skeletal Technologies in Alaska's Kodiak Archipelago
… properties, and tool design as they relate to skeletal media and technologies. Data were synthesized from existing biomedical literature on the structure and mechanical properties of technologically-relevant osseous media, including bird and cetacean bone, and antler. Original laboratory tests …

A multiscale mechanobiological investigation of scaffold designs for bone tissue engineering
… development is advancing understanding of how skeletal cells respond to the multitude of cues - mechanical and biochemical - they receive from their environment, such that researchers can tailor scaffold materials and architectures to provide favorable microenvironments for enhanced …

Design of Biomaterials toward Endogenous Skeletal Tissue Repair
<p>Repair of skeletal tissues remains a significant challenge in patient care as there is high incidence of impaired fracture healing as well as irreversible cartilage degeneration following joint injury. To improve the repair outcome, recent advancements have been made in regenerative medicine …

The Neurotrophic Influence on Craniofacial Development Subsequent to in Utero Unilateral Transection of the Trigeminal(V) Nerve
… development of the craniofacial elements (i.e., skeletal). The results indicate that attainment of cellular differentiation and fundamental form of skeletal elements, including the temporomandibular joint, are inherent (i.e., genetic) and independent of both functional demand and biomechanical …

Strontium isotope tracing of prehistoric human mobility in France
… diet humans incorporate strontium into their skeletal tissues such as bones and teeth. Teeth form during childhood and are resistant to weathering and geochemical alteration, often preserving the original isotope values. By comparing the strontium isotope ratios in teeth to the variations of …

Antibody Response to Heat Shock Proteins of Trypanosoma Cruzi and Histopathology in Mice Infected and Maintained at Elevated Environmental Temperature
… histopathological changes in the heart and skeletal tissues of mice maintained at RT or an elevated temperature of 36°C were compared. Parasitemias were also performed at regular intervals. Results showed that mice maintained at RT experienced parasitemias as early as day 15 post-infection …
