The freeze fracture technique was used to study intercellular junctions of inner ear anlages developed in vitro. The 16th gestational day inner ear from the CBA/CBA mouse was cultured for 5 days whereafter the specimens were analyzed. Inner ears developed in vivo were used as controls. A considerable variation in the maturation of the tight junctional complexes occurred in both the vestibular and cochlear parts of the labyrinth. The sequential maturation of tight junctions and gap junctions showed the same structural features in the in vivo and the in vitro developed inner ears, although it seemed that the in vivo developed inner ears showed a slightly more overall mature morphology of tight junctions.

Mental preparation for sports competition in karate is significant, as it is deeply embedded in the philosophical and ethical values that underpin this combat method. In practice, the mental preparation of karateka varies depending on the type of competition, for example preparation for kata (forms) and kumite (fights). Thus, this perspective offers a concise account of the authors' viewpoint on the leading mental skills required of kata competitors.

Low fracture toughness, low-temperature degradation (LTD) susceptibility, and inadequate soft tissue integration greatly limit the application of zirconia ceramic abutment. Integrating the "surface" of hard all-ceramic materials into the gingival soft tissue and simultaneously promoting the "inner" LTD resistance and fracture toughness is challenging. Composite ceramics are effective in improving the comprehensive properties of materials.

Introduction: The control of parasites infections in livestock is an ongoing concern, with parasites developing resistance to commonly used antiparasitic drugs. The current study investigated the destructive effect of the fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia on the eggs and oocysts of several equine parasites, as well as assessing the safety of the fungus in mice.

Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to pressure or volume overload such as hypertension and ischemic heart diseases. Sustained cardiac hypertrophy eventually leads to heart failure. The pathophysiological alterations of hypertrophy are complex, involving both cellular and molecular systems.

Gelatin-based biomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for bioadhesives due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, they often face limitations due to the uncontrollable phase transition of gelatin, which is dominated by hydrogen bonds between peptide chains. Here, we developed controllable phase transition gelatin-based (CPTG) bioadhesives by regulating the dynamic balance of hydrogen bonds between the peptide chains using 2-hydroxyethylurea (HU) and punicalagin (PA).
