Abstract Background Approximately 1 in 5 women diagnosed with breast cancer are considered to have in situ disease, most often termed ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Though... -
Multiphoton in vivo imaging with a femtosecond semiconductor disk laser
We use an ultrafast diode-pumped semiconductor disk laser (SDL) to demonstrate several applications in multiphoton microscopy. The ultrafast SDL is based on an optically pumped... -
Carotid arterial wall inflammation in peripheral artery disease is augmented ...
Abstract Background Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at increased risk of secondary events, which is exaggerated in the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.... -
Optical biopsy of fixed human skin with backward-collected optical harmonics ...
Harmonics-based optical microscopy has been widely applied in biomedical researches due to its noninvasiveness to the studied biomaterials. Due to momentum conservation... -
Epidural adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cell activation induced by l...
Abstract Background Spinal metastasis is a major challenge in patients with advanced lung cancer, but the mechanisms in the organotropism of metastasis are still unclear.... -
Abdominal skin tensile strength in aesthetic and massive weight loss patients...
Abstract Background Clarifying the biomechanics of abdominal skin could lead to different uses for this tissue such as the ventral repair of hernias in patients with excess skin... -
Transcriptome analysis reveals regional and temporal differences in mucosal i...
Abstract Background Postnatal development of the mammalian mucosal immune system is crucial for responding to the rapid colonization by commensal bacteria and possible exposure... -
Skin autofluorescence is associated with inappropriate left ventricular mass ...
Abstract Background Enhanced advanced glycation end products deposition within myocardial tissue may cause diastolic dysfunction. However, whether this is related to left... -
Early strong intrathecal inflammation in cerebellar type multiple system atro...
Abstract Background The pathology of multiple system atrophy cerebellar-type (MSA-C) includes glial inflammation; however, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory cytokine... -
The crucial role of PpMYB10.1 in anthocyanin accumulation in peach and relati...
Abstract Background Red coloration of fruit skin is one of the most important traits in peach (Prunus persica), and it is mainly due to the accumulation of anthocyanins. Three... -
Improved co-registration of ex-vivo and in-vivo cardiovascular magnetic reson...
Abstract Background Ex-vivo cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has played an important role in the validation of in-vivo CMR characterization of pathological... -
Transplantation of human dental pulp stem cells ameliorates diabetic polyneur...
Abstract Background Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have high proliferation and multi-differentiation capabilities that maintain their functionality after cryopreservation. In... -

Abstract Background The medicinal mushroom Trametes versicolor (Tv, Turkey Tail) is often prepared for consumption as a powder from the fungal mycelium and the fermented... -
Ultrahigh sensitive optical microangiography for in vivo imaging of microcirc...
In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time that the detailed cutaneous blood flow at capillary level within dermis of human skin can be imaged by optical micro-angiography... -
Deletion of Nlrp3 protects from inflammation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy
Abstract Background Critically ill patients develop atrophic muscle failure, which increases morbidity and mortality. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is activated early in sepsis.... -
Analysis of change in gait in the ovine stifle: normal, injured, and anterior...
Abstract Background Many patients who undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgery develop post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). ACL reconstructive surgery... -
The safety and efficacy of nicotine replacement therapy in the intensive care...
Abstract Background Studies evaluating nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to prevent nicotine withdrawal symptoms in ICU patients have yielded conflicting results. We performed... -
Umbilical cord/placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells inhibit fibrogenic act...
Abstract Background The lack of anti-fibrotic agents targeting intestinal fibrosis is a large unmet need in inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative... -
Effects of isoflurane, remifentanil and dexmedetomidine on selected EEG param...
Abstract Background The aim of this prospective and complete cross-over study was to evaluate the effects of isoflurane, remifentanil and dexmedetomidine on EEG parameters... -
