Dental age estimation in Indonesian adults: An investigation of the maxillary canine pulp-to-tooth volume ratio using cone-beam computed tomography.

Purpose: This study was performed to develop a linear regression model using the pulp-to-tooth volume ratio (PTVR) ratio of the maxillary canine, assessed through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, to predict chronological age (CA) in Indonesian adults.

Materials And Methods: A sample of 99 maxillary canines was collected from patients between 20 and 49.99 years old.

A reference tissue atlas for the human kidney.

Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP) is building a spatially specified human kidney tissue atlas in health and disease with single-cell resolution. Here, we describe the construction of an integrated reference map of cells, pathways, and genes using unaffected regions of nephrectomy tissues and undiseased human biopsies from 56 adult subjects. We use single-cell/nucleus transcriptomics, subsegmental laser microdissection transcriptomics and proteomics, near-single-cell proteomics, 3D and CODEX imaging, and spatial metabolomics to hierarchically identify genes, pathways, and cells.

In vitro evaluation of excess copper affecting seedlings and their biochemical characteristics in Carthamus tinctorius L. (variety PBNS-12).

The present study was focused to recognize the changes in the Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L. variety PBNS-12), when exposed to different concentration of copper (25, 50 and 100 μM) along with control (0.5 μM) for 10 and 20 days.

Circulating phospholipid profiling identifies portal contribution to NASH signature in obesity.

Background & Aims: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by steatosis, lobular inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning with fibrosis in severe cases, and high prevalence in obesity. We aimed at defining NASH signature in morbid obesity by mass spectrometry-based lipidomic analysis.

Methods: We analyzed systemic blood before and 12 months after bariatric surgery, along with portal blood and adipose tissue lipid efflux collected from obese women at the time of surgery (9 structural classes, 150 species).

In vitro hybridization in an incompatible cross Nicotiana glutinosa X Nicotiana megalosiphon.

Using conventional techniques interspecific hybridization between N. glutinosa (2n=24) and N. megalosiphon (2n=40) results in failure while the reciprocal is successful.
