Cadherins mediate homotypic adhesion between lineage-related cells in epithelia and other tissues. One cadherin, E-cadherin, is also responsible for adhesion of murine epidermal Langerhans cells to keratinocytes in vitro, and may play a role in the localization of Langerhans cells in epidermis. The thymus is another tissue in which important adhesive interactions between bone marrow-derived cel...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of the intramuscular injection of betacarotene associated to tocopherol on the plasma concentration progesterone of superovulated Holstein heifers (experiment 1) and in crossbred (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) heifers submitted to fixed-time embryo transfer (FTET, experiment 2). In experiment 1, after estrus synchronization and superovulation an...

Biologics have transformed the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis; however, none are curative, and an increasing number patients failed all available classes. MSCs, multipotent stem cells with immunomodulatory properties been used to treat immune-mediated inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis Crohn disease. We investigated efficacy safety umbilical cord-derived MSCs in 2 ...

Static and dynamic testing of specimens specially designed for studying the localization plastic deformation in AMg6 D16 alloys were performed on then electromechanical Testometric machine split Hopkinson pressure bar using StrainMaster system noninvasive measurement shape deformation. Displacement strain fields are plotted special-shaped subjected to static loading. Comparison between experime...
