A one-way ticket: wheat roots do not functionally refill xylem emboli following rehydration.
Published in Plant physiology
Understanding xylem embolism spread in roots is essential for predicting the loss of function across root systems during drought. However, the lasting relevance of root embolism to plant recovery depends on whether roots can refill xylem emboli and resume function after rehydration. Using MicroCT and optical and dye staining methods, we investigate...
MicroCT illuminates the unique morphology of Shiinoidae (Copepoda: Cyclopoida), an unusual group of fish parasites
Published in PeerJ
The copepod family Shiinoidae Cressey, 1975 currently comprises nine species of teleost parasites with unusual morphology and a unique attachment mechanism. Female shiinoids possess greatly enlarged antennae that oppose a rostrum, an elongate outgrowth of cuticle that originates between the antennules. The antennae form a moveable clasp against the...

Published in Heliyon
• Electrospun PLLA/Coll-75/25 bundles and hierarchical scaffolds were successfully produced. • Electrospun hierarchical scaffolds mimic the morphology and mechanical properties ranging natural fascicles to whole tendons and ligaments. • A microCT in situ protocol was successfully developed to test the mechanical properties of electrospun scaffolds....
Optimal Agents for Visualizing Collagen Tissue Microarchitecture Using Contrast-Enhanced MicroCT
Micro-computed tomography (microCT) is a common tool for the visualization of the internal composition of organic tissues. Collagen comprises approximately 25–35% of the whole-body protein content in mammals, and the structure and arrangement of collagen fibers contribute significantly to the integrity of tissues. Collagen type I is also frequently...

Influence of the use of autogenous bone particles to close the access window after maxillary sinus floor augmentation: a...
Published in Oral and maxillofacial surgery
The purpose of this study was to evaluate using microCT and positron emission tomography (PET) analysis, the influence on bone healing of the placement of particulate autogenous bone in the antrostomy, and in the subjacent region after maxillary sinus elevation with xenograft. The sinus mucosa was elevated in sixteen male New Zealand rabbits and th...
Bone characteristics in condylar hyperplasia of the temporomandibular joint: a microcomputed tomography, histology, and ...
Published in International journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery
Unilateral condylar hyperplasia (UCH) of the temporomandibular joint is a progressive deformation of the mandibular condyle of unknown origin. UCH is characterized by excessive growth of the condylar head and neck, leading to an increase in size and volume. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the bone in patients with UC...
Lead induced differences in bone properties in osteocalcin +/+ and −/− female mice
Published in Bone Reports
• Lead treated osteocalcin knockout (PbOC-/-) had higher bone formation than lead treated wild-type bones (PbOC+/+). • Imbalanced turnover in PbOC-/- produced bones with increased cross sectional area but not proportionally stronger. • PbOC-/- had an immature collagen matrix which contributes to reduced material properties. • At low lead levels bon...
