This is likely related to the morbidity associated with open condylar approaches and the importance of surrounding structures. We present a…[Read more]

japonica extract following bacterial infection. We found that the activation of NF-κB, a transcription factor for pro-inflammatory cytokines, was modulated by O. japonica extract. Thus, O. japonica extract has immunomodulatory activity that can be harnessed to control inflammation.The achievement of rapid hemostasis represents a long-term trend…[Read more]

Many scientific disciplines rely on computational methods for data analysis, model generation, and prediction. Implementing these methods is often accomplished by researchers with domain expertise but without formal training in software engineering or computer science. This arrangement has led to underappreciation of sustainability and…[Read more]
