Development of Optical Differential Sensing Based on Nanomaterials for Biological Analysis.

The discrimination and recognition of biological targets, such as proteins, cells, and bacteria, are of utmost importance in various fields of biological research and production. These include areas like biological medicine, clinical diagnosis, and microbiology analysis. In order to efficiently and cost-effectively identify a specific target from a wide range of possibilities, researchers have developed a technique called differential sensing.

Rock signaling control PPARγ expression and actin polymerization during adipogenesis.

Adipogenesis is characterized by a strong interdependence between cell shape, cytoskeletal organization, and the onset of adipogenic gene expression. Here we investigated the role of the RhoA/ROCK pathway in adipogenesis. High RhoA activity in the cell line C3H10T1/2 were generated (Named RhoA14V cells).

[Clinical effects of ridge augmentation with the half-columnar shaped mandibular bone block for the placement of dental implants].

Objective: To evaluate the treatment effects of the half-columnar shaped mandibular block bone onlay grafting technique for augmentation of the resorbed maxillary anterior alveolar ridge after single tooth missing.

Methods: A total of 15 sites of 14 patients received ridge augmentation surgeries. The recipient sites were prepared with trephines, the half-columnar shaped bone blocks were harvested from the ramus and external oblique ridges with trephines according to diameters of the recipient sites.
