The extracellular matrix as a biologic scaffold material.
Biologic scaffolds composed of naturally occurring extracellular matrix (ECM) have received significant attention for their potential therapeutic applications. The full potential of the ability of ECM scaffolds to promote constructive remodeling will not be realized, however, until an understanding of the biology and the external influences that affect biology, are better achieved. The factors ...
متن کاملPlant tissue culture studies in Sorghum bicolor: immature embryo explants as the source material
Sorghum is a wonder crop from physiological point of view. It is the most important cereal crop, after rice and wheat. The number of reports describing the use of transgenic Sorghum for basic studies in Biotechnology is still limited when compared to other crops. In one hand, the success of the transformation techniques is mainly dependent upon the availability of optimal protocols for highly ...
متن کاملHelical Rosette Nanotubes as a Biomimetic Tissue Engineering Scaffold Material
With the rapid development of orthopedic implant technology, various bone implant surgeries and procedures (such as bone fractures, repairing defects, and hip and knee replacements) are routinely performed. Although these surgeries are usually successful operations for up to 15 years, implant failure due to loosening of the prostheses does occur for active or heavy patients. Other patients rece...
متن کاملOn the Organisation of Agent Experience: Scaling Up Social Cognition
This paper introduces “micro-scalability” as a novel design objective for social reasoning architectures operating in open multiagent systems. Microscalability is based on the idea that social reasoning algorithms should be devised in a way that allows for social complexity reduction, and that this can be achieved by operationalising principles of interactionist sociology. We first present a fo...
متن کاملSocial Capital as Good Culture
To explain the extremely long-term persistence (more than 500 years) of positive historical experiences of cooperation (Putnam 1993), we model the intergenerational transmission of priors about the trustworthiness of others. We show that this transmission tends to be biased toward excessively conservative priors. As a result, societies can be trapped in a low-trust equilibrium. In this context,...
