After an injury to the central nervous system (CNS), functional recovery is limited by the inability of severed axons to regenerate and form functional connections with appropriate target neurons beyond the injury.Despite tremendous advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of axon growth, and of the inhibitory factors in the injured CNS that
Lesion mimic (Lm) mutants display hypersensitive responses (HR) without any pathogen attack; their symptoms are similar to those produced by a pathogen and result in cell death.In wheat, such mutants have been reported to be resistant against leaf rust due to their biotrophic nature.However, Lm mutants tend to encourage spot blotch (SB) disease cau
Rhubarb is an important ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine known as Rhei radix et rhizome.However, this common name refers to three different botanical species with different pharmacological effects.To facilitate the genetic identification of these three species for their more precise application in Chinese medicine we here want to provide
Development of tools to be used for in vivo bone tissue regeneration focuses on cellular models and differentiation processes.In searching for all the optimal sources, adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs or preadipocytes) are able to differentiate into osteoblasts with analogous characteristics to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell
Neuroimage registration is crucial for brain morphometric analysis and treatment efficacy evaluation.However, existing advanced registration algorithms such as FLIRT and ANTs are not efficient enough for clinical use.In this paper, a GPU Insulated Beverage Containers/Dispensers implementation of FLIRT with the correlation ratio (CR) as the similari
