Objective: To assess the role of Insulin growth factor-I (IGF-I) in females selected for assisted reproductive technique (ART).Methods: In this cross-sectional study 133 infertile females were recruited for Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).The antral follicle count (AFC), pre-ovulatory follicle count (PFC), total doses of follicle Womens Soc
Small oscillatory accelerations, independent of matrix deformations, increase osteoblast activity and enhance bone morphology.
A range of tissues have the capacity to adapt to mechanical challenges, an attribute presumed to be regulated through deformation of the cell and/or surrounding matrix.In contrast, it is shown here that extremely small oscillatory accelerations, applied as unconstrained motion and inducing negligible deformation, serve as an anabolic stimulus to os
Connectivity in the yeast cell cycle transcription network: inferences from neural networks.
A current challenge is to develop computational approaches to infer gene network regulatory relationships based on multiple types of large-scale functional genomic data.We find that single-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) models can effectively discover gene network structure by integrating global in vivo protein:DNA interaction d
Comprehensive evaluation of rock and soil quality of different geological stratum groups in Pingshuo opencast coal mine reclamation area
In order to make scientific and rational use of waste rock and soil in mining areas, guide its classification and discard and reconstruct high quality reclaimed soil, the loess parent material in the Pingshuo opencast mining area is used as a control to analyze the differences in physical and chemical properties of different types of rock and soil
