Degradation of the articular cartilage (AC) structure due to osteoarthritis significantly influences its friction and lubrication mechanisms.Injection with exogenous hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the ways to slow down the progress of these changes.The present paper aims to determine the effect of HA on the friction and lubrication processes of the
Characterization of adipose depot-specific stromal cell populations by single-cell mass cytometry
Summary: The increased prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases has heightened interest in adipose tissue biology and its potential as a therapeutic target.To better understand cellular heterogeneity and complexity of white adipose tissue (WAT), we employed cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) to characterize immune and stromal cells in visceral
CO2-forced changes of Arctic temperature lapse rates in CMIP5 models
Global climate models show that the lapse rate feedback is a key reason for Arctic amplification of global warming.However, a proper assessment of the underlying spatial and temporal structure of the vertically non-uniform temperature change is still lacking.In this study we use the output from several CMIP5 climate models to investigate the Arctic
Cornu cervi pantotrichum Pharmacopuncture Solution Facilitate Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice
Objectives: Cornu cervi pantotrichum (CCP) has been widely used in Korean and China, as an anti-fatigue, anti-aging, and tonic agent to enhance the functions of the reproductive and the immune systems.Because CCP has various growth factors that play important roles in the development of hair follicles, we examined Eyebrow Enhancers whether CCP phar
THE EGYPTIAN CITY CENTRES IN THE ISLAMIC ERA: IMAGE ANALYSIS, EVALUATION AND CONTEMPORARY REFLECTION
The central district of any Islamic city is the location of the most distinctive architectural and urban features.This district includes the important architectural monuments such as Friday mosques, bazaars, Khans and Madrasas.To analyse the image of the Egyptian city during the Islamic period, it is important to understand how Egyptian Muslims con
