Modification of proteins by the covalent attachment of ubiquitin is a key regulatory mechanism
of many cellular processes including protein degradation by the 26S pro teasome. …

To assess the histological response and the reinforcing effects of bone ingrowth within
porous hydroxyapatite (HA) implants depending on pore geometry, four kinds of cylindrical-type …

Objective: Resistin belongs to a family of cysteine-rich secreted polypeptides that are mainly
produced by monocytes/macrophages in humans. Recently, high concentrations of resistin …

The sintering behavior of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP, Ca 2 P 2 O 7 )-doped β-tricalcium
phosphate [TCP, Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ], prepared by solid state reaction, was investigated in-situ, …

Study Design. Radiological analysis and classification of normal patterns of sagittal alignment
of the spine. Objective. To classify the patterns of sagittal alignment of the spine in young …

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2
diabetes mellitus and in diabetic vascular complications. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a class …

The sintering behavior, mechanical properties and biocompatibility of magnesia (MgO)-doped
