Abstract Background Periostin, a secreted adhesion molecule, is a matricellular protein secreted most in periodontal ligament and periosteum.Periostin is also needed for integrity and maturation of periodontal tissue.This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) periostin levels in subjects having periodontal disea
Expanding the automation level of the freshly introduced fleet of self-propelled Watertruck+ barges, which house fully-rotatable embedded thrusters, might increase their ability to compete with their less sustainable but dominating road-based alternatives.Hydrodynamic motion models, which reveal the manoeuvring capabilities of these barges, can ser
Abstract Background The methylation of the CpG islands of the LINE-1 promoter is a tight control mechanism on the function of mobile elements.However, simultaneous quantification of promoter methylation and transcription of LINE-1 has not been performed in progressive stages of colorectal cancer.In addition, the insertion of mobile elements in the
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) poses a significant threat due to its tendency to evade early detection, frequent metastasis, and Mirror the subsequent challenges in devising effective treatments.Processes that govern epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in PDAC hold promise for advancing novel therapeutic strategies.SAMD1 (SAM domain-co
Regarding the location of a facility, the presumption in the widely used p-median model is that the customer opts for the shortest route to the nearest facility.However, this assumption is problematic on free markets since the customer is presumed to gravitate to a facility by the distance to and the attractiveness of it.The recently introduced gra
