Introduction: The aim of the study was to apply microcomputed tomography to quantitative evaluation of voids and to test any specific location of voids in tooth’s root canal obturations. Materials and Methods: Twenty roo...
Role of ghrelin and leptin in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. Part II. Leptin
Leptin is produced by mature adipocytes. Its amount correlates positively with the mass of the adipose tissue. Leptin plays a crucial role in maintaining body weight and glucose homeostasis. It is transported through the...
Effects of Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor on Opsonin Receptor Expression and Neutrophil Antibacterial Activity in a Mouse Model of Severe Acute Pancreatitis
The antimicrobial function of neutrophils, which is dependent on opsonin receptors, deteriorates in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) putatively enhanced levels of the opsonin...
Bioluminescence as a tool in molecular biology
Bioluminescence has been studied for many years by scientists. There are numerous mechanisms of that phenomenon; among them bacterial bioluminescence is the most frequently found in nature. This type of bioluminescence i...
From precursor to reprogrammed cells: evolution of cardiomyoplasty
Myocardial infarction is underoxygenation-driven limited necrosis of heart tissues which results in elimination of ca. 0.5 to 1 billion spontaneously contracting cardiomyocytes (CM). Since the ability of human heart to r...
