CASEIN PHOSPHOPEPTIDE-AMORPHOUS CALCIUM PHOSPHATE REDUCES STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS BIOFILM DEVELOPMENT ON GLASS IONOMER CEMENT AND DISRUPTS ESTABLISHED BIOFILMS.

Glass ionomer cements (GIC) are dental restorative materials that are suitable for modification to help prevent dental plaque (biofilm) formation.The aim of this study was to determine the effects of incorporating casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) into a GIC on the colonisation and establishment of Streptococcus mutans bio

Summary: The mouse epididymis is a long tubule connecting the testis to the vas deferens.Its primary functions are to mature spermatozoa into motile and grand love red heart reposado tequila fertile cells and to protect them from pathogens that ascend the male tract.We previously demonstrated that a functional extracellular amyloid matrix surrounds

Resting brain activity has been widely used as an index of brain development in neuroscience and clinical research.However, it remains unclear whether early differences in resting brain activity have meaningful implications for predicting long-term cognitive outcomes.Using data from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project (Zeanah et al., 2003), we

Abstract Vocal cord paralysis caused by recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury during thyroidectomy results in hoarseness, aspiration, and dyspnea.We evaluated the usefulness of nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) constructed from an asymmetric polycaprolactone (PCL)/Pluronic F127 porous membrane and filled with sofia barclay sexy platelet-rich plasma (

Abstract Background Draft quality genomes for a multitude of organisms have become common due to the advancement of genome assemblers using long-read technologies with high error rates.Although current assemblies are substantially more contiguous than assemblies based on short reads, complete chromosomal assemblies are still challenging.Intersperse
