Community engagement and crowdsourcing for effective disaster response and rescue operations during the earthquake in Syria
(2023-11-01)Introduction: On February 6, 2023, at 4:17 a.m., a catastrophic earthquake struck the regions of southern and central Turkey and northern and western Syria, leaving over 51.000 casualties, and hundreds of thousands lost ... -
Valproic acid restricts mast cell activation by Listeria monocytogenes.
(2022-09-20)Mast cells (MC) play a central role in the early containment of bacterial infections, such as that caused by Listeria monocytogenes (L.m). The mechanisms of MC activation induced by L.m infection are well known, so it is ... -
Serum-derived extracellular vesicles from breast cancer patients contribute to differential regulation of T-cell-mediated immune-escape mechanisms in breast cancer subtypes.
(2023)BACKGROUND: Intracellular communication within the tumour is complex and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as major contributing factors for the cell-to-cell communication in the local and distant tumour ... -
The influence of implant position and of prosthetic characteristics on the occurrence of peri-implantitis: a retrospective study on periapical radiographs.
(2023-11-01)OBJECTIVE: The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the influence of malposition on the occurrence of peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included clinical records of systemically healthy patients ... -
Slow imaging with quicksilver: high pressure mercury intrusion in dental tissues studied with BSE-SEM and XMT.
(University College Dublin, 2022-07-05)Mercury intrusion under very high pressures is used to study the distributions of dimensions of pores in permeable solids. We noted that archival calcified tissue samples which had been tested to 750 bar were permanently ... -
Fleas and bites in bones.
(2022-11-18)Armadillos are bitten by several species of flea. Females of the genus Tunga penetrate the epidermis and when in place are fertilised by males, after which the abdomen swells enormously to form a ‘neosome’. Within the ... -
High-pressure mercury intrusion for BSE-SEM and XMT histology.
(BSODR and QMUL, 2023-09-08)Objectives. Mercury intrusion under very high pressures is used to study the distributions of dimensions of pores in permeable solids. We noted that archival calcified tissue samples which had been tested to 750 bar were ... -
Correlative X-ray microtomography and light microscopy of hard tissue sections.
(University College Dublin, 2022-07-04)There are large numbers of ground sections of calcified tissues in museum and anatomy department and private collections. Many of these light microscopy (LM) slides are rare, historically important, or impossible to ... -
Studies of Melbourne bones, and the shape and size of voxels in LM, CSLM, XMT and SEM: cross-correlative microscopies.
(TU Wien, 2023-09-20)John Clement was my student at UCL. When he graduated and wanted to undertake further training in pathology, I advised him of a vacant position at The London Hospital Medical College [later QMUL], which he took, and thus ... -
Histology of Dental Hard Tissues
Biological hard tissue structures can only be fully comprehended through a thorough understanding of developmental mechanisms. This is possible to achieve through the study of living animals. We limit our coverage here to ...
