background: solitary fibrous tumor (sft) is a mesenchymal tumor which is most commonly seen in the pleura; however it can be seen in other organs such as the meninge, gastrointestinal tract, soft tissue, bone, and skin. sft should be differentiated from other mesenchymal tumors in these organs. immunohistochemistry plays a pivotal role for the histopathologic diagnosis of this tumor. currently,...

Introdouction: Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that affects craniofacial bones including the maxilla and mandible. In the most cases of fibrous dysplasia of facial bones, radiographic findings represent lucent or mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion with ill-defined borders and gradual blending of its border with adjacent bone . In this presentation, a patient suffering ...

Synthetic materials designed for improved biomimicry of the extracellular matrix must contain fibrous, bioactive, and mechanical cues. Self-assembly low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) peptides Fmoc-DIKVAV (Fmoc-aspartic acid-isoleucine-lysine-valine-alanine-valine) Fmoc-FRGDF (Fmoc-phenylalanine-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-phenylalanine) creates fibrous bioactive hydrogels. Polysaccharides ...

it is sometimes difficult to recognize a jaw lesion as osteosarcoma, ossifying fibroma or ‎fibrous dysplasia in routine hematoxylin and ‎eosin staining and a more accurate technique is needed to differentiate these ‎lesions. ‎many studies have shown the potential usefulness of silver-stained nucleolar organizer region (agnor) parameters for the diagnosis of various neoplasms. this study was car...

Computation-based mathematical models of tissue indentation are capable predicting the distribution forces and mechanical properties soft tissues. This paper presents a three-dimensional model anisotropic developed using bidomain model. The hypothesizes that relative displacement between intra- extracellular spaces triggers force on mechanosensitive proteins in membrane: integrins. Some tissues...

Bivalve shell is a biomineralized tissue with various layers/microstructures and excellent mechanical properties. Shell matrix proteins (SMPs) pervade and envelop the mineral crystals and play essential roles in biomineralization. Despite that Mytilus is an economically important bivalve, only few proteomic studies have been performed for the shell, and current knowledge of the SMP set responsi...

The move towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns is a goal shared by large part of society. In the oil-mill sector, whether it be animal feed or human food, this development should make possible to improve protein autonomy territories use proteins efficiently. Current methods some rapeseed indigestible leave most undesirable compounds from seeds in resulting meals. Residual...

Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play an important role in the stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. They contribute to form a firm fibrous cap by synthesizing and assembling fibrillar collagen I, a process that requires the synthesis of fibronectin and activation of integrins. However, extracellular matrix composition changes during the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Type I and III collag...

Legionella pneumophila grows in human alveolar macrophages and resides within a phagosome that initially lacks proteins associated with the endocytic pathway. Required for targeting to this unique location is the Dot/Icm complex, which is highly similar to conjugative DNA transfer apparatuses. Here, we show that exposure to three distinct inducing conditions resulted in the formation of a fibro...
