Tissue-specific endothelial cells are more than simply a barrier lining capillaries and are proved to be capable of remarkable plasticity to become active collagen matrix-producing myofibroblasts (MFs) in solid organs with fibrosis.Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) also participate in the development of hepatic fibrosis, but the exact role
BackgroundWhile there have been many technological advances in studying the neurobiological and clinical basis of tobacco use disorder and nicotine addiction, there have been relatively minor advances in technologies for monitoring, characterizing, and intervening to prevent smoking in real time.Better understanding of real-time smoking behavior ca
The oxidation and hardness of thermally exposed titanium (Ti) prepared using inductive sintering-assisted powder metallurgy was evaluated through cyclic tests in air at 700−900 °C for 100 h (5 cycles).In general, the oxidation kinetics of the Ti samples followed the parabolic law and their oxidation rates increased with increasing oxidat
