The Future of Biometrics: Exploring Tongue Print Technology and Applications.

Tongue print identification has emerged as a promising biometric modality due to the distinctiveness and stability of tongue features. This article provides an in-depth exploration of tongue prints as a viable means of personal identification, emphasizing its anatomical uniqueness and biometric advantages. By examining the anatomy of the tongue, the methodologies for tongue print acquisition, and the technological advancements in tongue print recognition systems, this article highlights the potential applications and contemporary challenges of tongue print biometrics in healthcare, security, and forensic science.

New connective tissue structure of the wrist area - research on fetal material.

The correct function of the upper limb depends on the cooperation and coordination of the muscular and skeletal systems as well as the connective tissue elements present in it. Connective tissue forms fascia, connective tissue membranes and ligaments. Connective tissue mostly develops from the mesenchyme.

Lower limb interosseous membrane in foetuses.

Background: The leg interosseous membrane (LIM) stabilises the tibia and the fibula. These two bones articulate at the proximal and distal tibiofibular joints. In addition, the LIM is the place of attachment of tibialis anterior muscle, extensor digitorum longus muscle, fibularis tertius muscle (anatomical variant), tibialis posterior muscle and flexor hallucis longus muscle.

Development of an immunofluorescent AR-V7 circulating tumor cell assay - A blood-based test for men with metastatic prostate cancer.

Introduction: Here we describe the development of a protein immunofluorescent assay for the detection of nuclear-localized androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7) protein within circulating tumor cells (CTCs) identified in patient blood samples. Used in the clinic, the test result serves as a validated biomarker of futility for patients with progressing metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who are treated with androgen receptor targeted therapies (AATT) in whom nuclear-localized AR-V7 CTCs are identified and have received level 2A evidence in the 2019 National Cancer Center Network (NCCN) guidelines (v1.0).

Molecular Aspects of Senescence and Organismal Ageing-DNA Damage Response, Telomeres, Inflammation and Chromatin.

Cells can become senescent in response to stress. Senescence is a process characterised by a stable proliferative arrest. Sometimes it can be beneficial-for example, it can suppress tumour development or take part in tissue repair.
