Introduction: Contrary to a common belief, most mammalian females lose the ability of Germ Cell (GC) renewal and oogenesis during fetal life. Although, it has been claimed that germ line stem cells preserve oogenesis in postnatal mouse ovaries, that postnatal oogenesis keeps producing functional and sufficient GCs in the case of infertility (caused by different reasons) is doubtful. On the othe...

Rumpal, Nidhi and Gregory A. Lnenicka. Ca clearance at growth cones produced by crayfish motor axons in an explant culture. J Neurophysiol 89: 3225–3234, 2003; 10.1152/jn.00952.2002. Intracellular free Ca concentration ([Ca ]i) plays an important role in the regulation of growth cone (GC) motility; however, the mechanisms responsible for clearing Ca from GCs have not been examined. We studied t...

Asthma is a chronic disorder that can place considerable restrictions on the physical, emotional, and social aspects of the lives of patients. Inhaled glucocorticoids (GCs) are the most effective controller therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of inhaled GCs on quality of life in patients with moderate to severe asthma. Patients completed the asthma quality of life ques...

Metal-poor globular clusters (GCs) are our local link to the earliest epochs of star formation and galaxy building. Studies of extragalactic GC systems using deep, high-quality imaging have revealed a small but significant slope to the color-magnitude relation for metal-poor GCs in a number of galaxies. We present a study of the M87 GC system using deep, archival HST/ACS imaging with the F606W ...

Background: Primordial follicle includes an oocyte surrounded by a layer of somatic cells called granulosa cells (GCs). GCs, also known as nurse cells, are an important protective element for the growth and survival of oocytes. Oocytes, which lack some of the metabolic processes required granulosa cells for their development. Objective: This manuscript has been provided to explain the protocol...

We study the dynamical evolution of the M87 globular cluster system (GCS) with a number of numerical simulations. We explore a range of different initial conditions for the GCS mass function (GCMF), for the GCS spatial distribution and for the GCS velocity distribution. Our simulations include the effects of two-body relaxation, dynamical friction and mass loss due to stellar evolution. We firs...

background variables derived from electroencephalogram like cerebral state index (csi) have been used to monitor the anesthesia depth during general anesthesia. observed evidences show such variables have also been used as a detector of brain death or outcome predictor in traumatic brain-injured (tbi) patients. objectives the current study was designed to determine the correlation between glasg...

background cerebral state index (csi) is derived from electroencephalograms to monitor the level of consciousness during anesthesia. some evidence shows that this indicator has been used to detect cerebral ischemia and prognostic outcomes for traumatic brain injury (tbi). objectives the present study was designed to investigate the correlation between glasgow coma score (gcs) and csi for brain-...

Recent advances in the understanding of the genetic underpinnings of cancer offer the promise to customize cancer treatments to the individual through the use of genomic classifiers (GCs). At present, routine clinical utilization of GCs is uncommon and their current scope and status, in a broad sense, are unknown. As part of a registered review (PROSPERO 2014:CRD42014013371), we systematically ...

Germinal centers (GCs)—the sites of antibody development—are not exclusive niches for rookie B cells. They are also open to experienced old-timers, according to Bende et al. (page 2655). GCs are temporary lymph node structures that form during an immune response to help newly activated B cells better recognize an antigen. As they proliferate, the B cells’ antibody-encoding DNA is mutated. The e...
