Development of cerebral sulci a ...
This study aimed to clarify the development of sulci and gyri on the external surface of the cerebrum of cynomolgus monkeys. Sulcus formation began ...
Immunohistochemical localizatio ...
In the last years several studies have shown that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is present in neural stem cells and mature neurons from ...
The morphology of the efferent ...
The efferent duct of the ostrich consists of two segments, the proximal efferent duct (PED) and the distal efferent duct (DED) that are continuous, ...
Changes in the number and distr ...
The mature rat parotid gland shows hardly any cell bodies of myoepithelial cells around the acini, only a few cell processes being visible. However, ...
Inhibition of the Cerebral Reni ...
Inhibition of then renin-angiotensin system (RAS) ranks among the best established and most used cardiovascular therapies. By providing protection a ...
Reduction of Myocardial Infarct ...
