Mathematical modeling of sub-cellular asymmetry of fat-dachsous heterodimer for generation of planar cell polarity.

Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) is an evolutionarily conserved characteristic of animal tissues marked by coordinated polarization of cells or structures in the plane of a tissue.In insect wing epithelium, for instance, PCP is characterized by en masse orientation of hairs orthogonal to its apical-basal axis and pointing along the proximal-distal axis o

Implant-supported provisional prosthesis facilitated the minor revision of occlusion and incisor exposure after orthognathic surgery of extended oligodontia in maxilla

Background: The congenital oligodontia in maxilla could result in a significant skeletal jaw malformation such as Diagnostic Instrument Lamps atrophic maxilla and severe skeletal class III malocclusion.Since there is no referable dentition in anterior maxilla, the orthognathic surgery and oral rehabilitation for those patients becomes more challeng

Understand anisotropy dependence of damage evolution and material removal during nanoscratch of MgF2 single crystals

To understand the anisotropy dependence of the damage evolution and material removal during the machining process of MgF _2 single crystals, nanoscratch tests of MgF _2 single crystals with different crystal planes and directions were systematically performed, and surface morphologies of the scratched grooves under different conditions were analyze
