Abstract Solid tumors are complex entities that actively shape their microenvironment to create a supportive environment for their own growth.Angiogenesis and immune suppression are two key characteristics of this tumor microenvironment.Despite attempts to deplete tumor blood vessels using antiangiogenic drugs, extensive vessel pruning has shown CL
The filamentous fungus Chromocrea spinulosa (Trichoderma spinulosum) exhibits both self-fertile (homothallic) and self-sterile (heterothallic) sexual reproductive behavior.Self-fertile strains produce progeny cohorts that are 50% homothallic, 50% heterothallic.Heterothallic progeny can mate only with homothallic strains, and progeny also segregate
Abstract The use of traditional finite element method (FEM) in occlusal stress analysis is limited due to the complexity of musculature simulation.The present purpose was to develop a displacement boundary condition (DBC)-FEM, which evaded the muscle factor, to predict the dynamic occlusal stress.The geometry of the DBC-FEM was developed based on t
