Abstract Research on the mechanical properties of brain tissue has received extensive attention. However, most current studies have been conducted at phenomenological level. In this study, indentation method was used to explore difference in local among different regions porcine cerebral cortex. Further, hematoxylin-eosin and immunofluorescence staining methods were determine correlation betwee...

The properties of microglia largely differ depending on aging as well brain regions. However, there are few studies that investigated the functional importance such heterogeneous at molecular level. Voltage-gated proton channel, Hv1/VSOP, could be one candidates which confers heterogeneity among since it regulates oxidative stress in age-dependent manner. In this study, we found Hv1/VSOP shows ...

Thyroid hormones regulate adult metabolism partly through actions on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). They also affect neurological development of the brain, but their role in cerebral OXPHOS before birth remains largely unknown, despite increase energy demand during neonatal period. Thus, this study examined prepartum hypothyroid fetal sheep. Using respirometry, Complex I (CI)...

OBJECTIVES Angiogenesis comprises two different mechanisms: endothelial sprouting and intussusceptive microvascular growth. The sprouting process is based on endothelial cell migration, proliferation and tube formation. Intussusceptive microvascular growth divides existing vessel lumens by formation and insertion of endothelial columns into the vessel lumen. The morphological features of microv...
