Acceleration in dental development: fact or fiction

Acceleration in dental development: fact or fiction.

The aim of this investigation was to determine whether an actual acceleration in dental development has taken place over the last 30 years in a European population group, as is so readily observable in relation to body height.

Sonofusion – Fact or Fiction?

Sonoluminescence and Sonofusion phenomena may occur when vapor bubbles implode. This paper reviews the status of our understanding of the bubble dynamics involved in these interesting phenomena. In particular, the experimental and analytical evidence supporting the observed production of neutrons and tritium due to thermonuclear fusion within imploding bubble clusters is reviewed. Moreover, pot...

Many previous studies have aimed at spermatogenesis of male murine germ cells in vitro, but no efficient system has been established yet that covers the entire process of mammalian spermatogenesis in a culture dish permanently. In this review, we report on the requirements of spermatogenesis and the current state of different culture methods using testicular tissue fragments, single cell suspen...
