Neuritic extension is the resultant of two vectorial processes: outgrowth and retraction. Whereas myosin IIB is required for neurite outgrowth, retraction is driven by a motor whose identity has remained unknown until now. Preformed neurites in mouse Neuro-2A neuroblastoma cells undergo immediate retraction when exposed to isoform-specific antisense oligonucleotides that suppress myosin IIB exp...

OBJECTIVES To analyze the results of employing en masse retraction of the maxillary anterior dentition using palatal temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) as the exclusive source of anchorage. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective clinical investigation supported by preliminary case reports was performed comparing pretreatment cephalometric radiographs with those taken after en masse r...

A 52-year-old man presented with a 2-year history of episodic retraction of his tongue into the throat with a belief that he will die if the retraction is complete. The presentation is similar to koro except that the tongue is involved instead of the penis. It appears that retraction taxon can involve other organs and may not necessarily be culture bound.

I want to thank the editor for asking me to address the topic of the surgical management of postblepharoplasty lower eyelid retraction (PBLER). Thanks to the authors for sharing their work with Aesthetic Surgery Journal.1 Lower eyelid retraction following lower blepharoplasty has long been an important topic of interest to aesthetic surgeons, both in terms of its prevention and its treatment. G...

BACKGROUND This review aims to compare the effectiveness of en masse and two-step retraction methods during orthodontic space closure regarding anchorage preservation and anterior segment retraction and to assess their effect on the duration of treatment and root resorption. METHODS An electronic search for potentially eligible randomized controlled trials and prospective controlled trials wa...

Drosophila embryos lacking hindsight gene function have a normal body plan and undergo normal germ-band extension. However, they fail to retract their germ bands. hindsight encodes a large nuclear protein of 1920 amino acids that contains fourteen C2H2-type zinc fingers, and glutamine-rich and proline-rich domains, suggesting that it functions as a transcription factor. Initial embryonic expres...

Glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa plays a critical role in platelet aggregation and plateletmediated clot retraction. This study examined the intramolecular relationship between GPIIb-IIIa activation and fibrinogen binding, platelet aggregation, and plateletmediated clot retraction. To distinguish between different high-affinity activation states of GPIIb-IIIa, the properties of an antibody (D3) speci...

Magnetic retraction offers advantages over physical retraction by graspers because of reduced tissue trauma. The objectives of this study are to investigate a novel method of magnetisation of bowel segments by intraluminal injection of magnetic glue and to demonstrate the feasibility of magnetic retraction of bowel with sufficient force during minimal access surgery. Following an initial materi...
