The adult zebrash brain has a remarkable constitutive neurogenic capacity.The regulation and maintenance of its adult neurogenic niches are poorly understood.In mammals, Notch signaling is involved in stem cell maintenance both in embryonic and adult CNS.To better understand how Notch signaling is involved in stem cell maintenance during adult neur
Back and neck pain are commonly associated with intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration.Structural augmentation of diseased nucleus pulposus (NP) tissue with biomaterials could restore degeneration-related IVD height loss and degraded biomechanical behaviors; however, effective NP replacement biomaterials are not commercially available.This study de
The oriented nanotubes reinforced styrene butadiene rubber (CNTs/SBR) Cream Masks composites were prepared by applying the mechanical shear induction method, and the laws of carbon tube content and orientation on the mechanical and tribological properties of the composite rubber materials were investigated.The mechanisms of these results were analy
Contralateral pneumothorax after percutaneous central venous catheter placement has not been previously reported.Three patients Spray Arm Pin who required intubation and mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 were identified with a new pneumothorax on routine post-placement chest roentgenogram on the side opposite the
While sensing the cell environment, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) interacts with different pathways involved in cellular homeostasis.This review summarizes evidence suggesting that cellular regeneration in the context of aging and diseases can be modulated by AHR signaling on stem cells.New insights connect orphaned observations into AHR inte
