Species in the genus are carnivorous plants that prey on invertebrates using traps of leaf origin. The traps are equipped with numerous different glandular trichomes. Trichomes (quadrifids) produce digestive enzymes and absorb the products of prey digestion. The main aim of this study was to determine whether arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) occur in the cell wall ingrowths in the quadrifid cells. Antibodies (JIM8, JIM13, JIM14, MAC207, and JIM4) that act against various groups of AGPs were used. AGP localization was determined using immunohistochemistry techniques and immunogold labeling. AGPs localized with the JIM13, JIM8, and JIM14 epitopes occurred in wall ingrowths of the pedestal cell, which may be related to the fact that AGPs regulate the formation of wall ingrowths but also, due to the patterning of the cell wall structure, affect symplastic transport. The presence of AGPs in the cell wall of terminal cells may be related to the presence of wall ingrowths, but processes also involve vesicle trafficking and membrane recycling, in which these proteins participate.

Background And Study Aim: Local resection of early rectal cancer is being increasingly used. With invasion of the muscularis propria layer of the rectal wall, the risk of lymph node metastasis becomes too high to consider this the optimal oncological treatment. Therefore, a diagnosis of muscular invasion is important before attempting local resection; however, endoscopic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images have limitations, such as overstaging (26-31%).

The demand for total hip replacement surgery is increasing year by year. However, the issue of hip prosthesis failure, particularly the modular acetabular cup, still exists. The performance and functional requirements of modular acetabular cups have not yet met clinical expectations.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is one of the more common procedures performed worldwide and perhaps the most widely studied construct in orthopedic literature. Interference screws are reliable and frequently used for ligament reconstruction, providing rigid fixation and facilitates graft incorporation allowing for the physiologic loads of early rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to determine the bio-integration profile and quality of soft tissue graft when using mineral fiber-reinforced screws in an ACLR interference model.

A wheat spikelet accumulates several grains, which show significant positional effects in terms of size, weight, and material accumulation. However, few studies have investigated whether starch accumulation in these grains is related to the development of vascular bundles. This study analyzed the correlation between the morphology of vascular bundles and starch accumulation.

Complex abdominal wall repair remains a major surgical challenge. In transplant patients, non-vascularized rectus fascia (NVRF) is successfully used to bridge the defect. To extrapolate this to non-transplant patients, we developed a rabbit model of NVRF-transplantation without immunosuppression comparing syngeneic versus allogeneic transplants.
