Lignin is a poorly characterized polymer and its exact properties vary depending on both the species of the plant and its location within the plant.Three classes of lignins taken from alfalfa stem AFTER SUN BALM were examined.The investigation was concentrated on the determination of chemical changes in the lignins during growth and development by
Project-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as an effective way to teach complex biology concepts.However, not all institutions have the resources to facilitate effective project-based coursework for students.We have developed a framework for facilitating PBL using remote-controlled internet-connected microscopes.Through this approach, on
Dental enamel is formed by specialized epithelial cells which handle large quantities of Ca2+ while producing the most highly mineralized tissue.However, the mechanisms used by enamel cells to handle bulk Ca2+ safely remain unclear.Our previous work contradicted the dogma that Ca2+ is ferried through the cytosol of Ca2+-transporting Gun Safes cells
With increasing global demand for food, international food trade is playing a critical role in balancing the food supply and demand across different regions.Here, using trade datasets of Pop! Covers four crops that provide more than 50% of the calories consumed globally, we constructed four international crop trade networks (iCTNs).We observed the
Abstract Background The occurrence of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) might be associated with the proximal femoral morphology and the pelvis.PFFs in short stem THA are associated with an increased Canal Flare Index.PFFs in straight stem THA show a decreased Canal Flare Index.Therefore, this study
