Structure of the cerebral cortex of the humpback whale,Megaptera novaeangliae(Cetacea, Mysticeti, Balaenopteridae) Tập 290 Số 1 - Trang 1-31 - 2007
Patrick R. Hof, Estel Van der Gucht
AbstractCetaceans diverged from terrestrial mammals between 50 and 60 million
years ago and acquired, during their adaptation to a fully aquatic milieu, many
derived features, including echolocation (in odontocetes), remarkable auditory
and communicative abilities, as well as a complex social organization. Whereas
brain structure has been documented in detail in some odontocetes, few reports
exist... hiện toàn bộ
A New Fully Automated Approach for Aligning and Comparing Shapes Tập 298 Số 1 - Trang 249-276 - 2015
Douglas Boyer, Jesús Puente, Justin T. Gladman, Chris Glynn, Sayan Mukherjee, Gabriel Yapuncich, Miguel R. D. Rodrigues
ABSTRACTThree‐dimensional geometric morphometric (3DGM) methods for placing
landmarks on digitized bones have become increasingly sophisticated in the last
20 years, including greater degrees of automation. One aspect shared by all 3DGM
methods is that the researcher must designate initial landmarks. Thus,
researcher interpretations of homology and correspondence are required for and
influence rep... hiện toàn bộ
Amifostine Protective Effect on Cisplatin‐Treated Rat Testis Tập 291 Số 7 - Trang 797-808 - 2008
Leandra Campos Lirdi, Taiza Stumpp, Estela Sasso‐Cerri, Sandra Maria Miraglia
AbstractCisplatin is a potent drug used in clinical oncology but causes
spermatogenesis damage. Amifostine is a drug used against toxicity caused by
ionizing irradiation and chemotherapeutic drugs. Since cisplatin provokes
fertility and induces germ cell apoptosis and necrosis, we proposed to evaluate
the amifostine cytoprotective action on testes of cisplatin‐treated rats.

Perspectives in Multiphasic Osteochondral Tissue Engineering Tập 297 Số 1 - Trang 26-35 - 2014
June Jeon, Cédryck Vaquette, Travis J. Klein, Dietmar W. Hutmacher
ABSTRACTCritical‐sized osteochondral defects are clinically challenging, with
limited treatment options available. By engineering osteochondral grafts using a
patient's own cells and osteochondral scaffolds designed to facilitate cartilage
and bone regeneration, osteochondral defects may be treated with less
complications and better long‐term clinical outcomes. Scaffolds can influence
the developm... hiện toàn bộ
Review of the Cetacean Nose: Form, Function, and Evolution Tập 297 Số 11 - Trang 2205-2215 - 2014
Annalisa Berta, Eric G. Ekdale, Ted W. Cranford
ABSTRACTThe cetacean nose presents a unique suite of anatomical modifications.
Key among these is posterior movement of the external nares from the tip of the
rostrum to the top of the head. Concomitant with these anatomical changes are
functional changes including the evolution of echolocation in odontocetes, and
reduction of olfaction in Neoceti (crown odontocetes and mysticetes). Anatomical
and... hiện toàn bộ
The Carotid Sinus Nerve—Structure, Function, and Clinical Implications Tập 302 Số 4 - Trang 575-587 - 2019
Andrea Porzionato, Veronica Macchi, Carla Stecco, Raffaele De
ABSTRACTInterest has been renewed in the anatomy and physiology of the carotid
sinus nerve (CSN) and its targets (carotid sinus and carotid body, CB), due to
recent proposals of surgical procedures for a series of common pathologies, such
as carotid sinus syndrome, hypertension, heart failure, and insulin resistance.
The CSN originates from the glossopharyngeal nerve soon after its appearance

Chronological and Morphological Study of Heart Development in the Rat Tập 295 Số 8 - Trang 1267-1290 - 2012
Marcela Salazar–García, Revilla Monsalve María Cristina, Palomino Garibay Miguel Angel, Arteaga Martínez Manuel, Sofia Díaz‐Cintra, Patricia de la Rosa Santander, Bladimir Roque‐Ramírez, Sánchez Gómez Concepción
AbstractAdult and embryonic laboratory rats have been used as a mammalian model
organism in biomedical research, descriptive and experimental cardiac
embryology, and experimental teratology. There have been, however, considerable
variations and discrepancies concerning the developmental staging of the rat
embryo in the reported literature, which have resulted in several controversies
and inconsist... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of the effect of estrogen/androgen perturbation on penile development in transgenic and diethylstilbestrol‐Treated mice Tập 296 Số 7 - Trang 1127-1141 - 2013
Sarah D. Blaschko, Phitsanu Mahawong, Max Ferretti, Tristan J. Cunha, Adriane Sinclair, Hong Wang, Bruce J. Schlomer, Gail P. Risbridger, Laurence S. Baskin, Gerald R. Cunha
ABSTRACTBecause both androgens and estrogens have been implicated in penile
morphogenesis, we evaluated penile morphology in transgenic mice with known
imbalance of androgen and estrogen signaling using scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), histology, and immunohistochemistry of androgen and estrogen receptors
α/β. Penises of adult wild‐type, estrogen receptor‐α knockout (αERKO), estrogen
receptor‐β... hiện toàn bộ
Extrahepatic and Intrahepatic Human Portal Interstitial Cajal Cells Tập 294 Số 8 - Trang 1382-1392 - 2011
Mugurel Constantin Rusu, F. Pop, Sorin Hostiuc, George Cristian Curcă, Adrian Streinu‐Cercel
AbstractPortal interstitial cells of Cajal (PICCs), acting as vascular
pacemakers, were previously only identified in nonhumans. Moreover, there is no
evidence available about the presence of such cells within the liver. The
objective of the study is to evaluate whether or not PICCs are identifiable in
humans and, if they are, whether or not they are following the scaffold of
portal vein (PV) bran... hiện toàn bộ
