Data sources The review included 42 pre-clinical in-vitro studies, published between 1995 and 2017. Study selection The study selected in-vitro studies which had assessed the effect of nicotine on human gingival and periodontal fibroblasts and epithelial cells. Typically, diluted pure nicotine was added to a cell culture medium in a variety of dose...

Titanium dioxide nanomaterials are applied in numerous fields due to their splendid physicochemical characteristics, which in turn poses a potential threat to human health. Recently, numerous in vivo studies have revealed that titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TNPs) can be transported into animal brains after exposure through various routes. Absorbed...

During mammalian development, establishing functional neural networks in stratified tissues of the mammalian central nervous system depends upon the proper migration and positioning of neurons, a process known as lamination. In particular, the pseudostratified neuroepithelia of the retina and cerebrocortical ventricular zones provide a platform for...

The inner clock of biological organisms plays a pivotal role and has strong effects on metabolic processes such as glucose consumption. Since the commonly used positron emission tomography (PET) tracer 18F-flourodeoxygucose (FDG) is a glucose analogue, it is not surprising that the FDG distribution in mice and humans has been shown to succumb to da...

Main conclusionABA and GA metabolism during incubation rather than hormone contents in dry seeds is the key to understanding secondary dormancy and germination of Syngonanthus verticillatus seeds.AbstractThe mechanism of seed dormancy cycle, although very important for preventing germination during unfavorable periods for seedling establishment, is...

BackgroundThe top of the mastoid notch (TMN) is close to the transverse-sigmoid sinus junction. The spatial position relationship between the TMN and the key points (the anterosuperior and inferomedial points of the transverse-sigmoid sinus junction, ASTS and IMTS) can be used as a novel method to precisely locate the sinus junction during lateral ...

BackgroundBoth intra- and inter-sentential semantic relations in biomedical texts provide valuable information for biomedical research. However, most existing methods either focus on extracting intra-sentential relations and ignore inter-sentential ones or fail to extract inter-sentential relations accurately and regard the instances containing ent...
