objective: hydrostatic pressure is crucial component of cell environment and fundamental physical quantity, also it is the main factor of both cell integrity and function. pressure variation disorder, beyond physiological limits, may lead to pathological states. in this study, we examined the effect of hydrostatic pressure on apoptosis induction, viability, morphology, adhesion potency to subst...

Cell-cell adhesion is an inherently nonlocal phenomenon. Numerous partial differential equation models with term have been recently presented to describe this phenomenon, yet the mathematical properties of model are not well understood. Here we consider a two kinds cell-cell adhesion, satisfying no-flux conditions in multidimensional bounded domain. We show global-in-time well-posedness solutio...

in eukaryotes, vesicle trafficking is regulated by the small monomeric gtpases of the rab protein family. rab11, (a subfamily of the ypt/rab gene family) an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed subfamily of small monomeric rab gtpases, has been implicated in regulating vesicular trafficking through the recycling of endosomal compartment. in an earlier communication, we have shown th...

  Objective: Different techniques have been suggested for the repair of bone defects at the injured sites. Use of biomembranes, or application of plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF) at the site of proliferation of osteoblasts are among the suggested techniques. The current study aimed to compare the biocompatibility of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPLF) cultured on Hypro-Sorb F, Peri...

KCNK2 was previously shown to regulate immune-cell trafficking into the central nervous system (CNS). Kcnk2-/- mice demonstrated a more severe disease course in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal model of multiple sclerosis, due to an increased immune-cell migration into the CNS. An upregulation of the cellular adhesion molecules ICAM1 and VCAM1 on brain endothelial cells in K...
