A Novel Method for the Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Cancellous Bone in the Rat Distal Femur
(2010-01-14)
The mechanical properties of the cancellous bone in the laboratory rat animal
model are of great interest to the research community for the evaluation of treatments for
osteoporosis. Cancellous bone responds rapidly and ...
Reprogramming DNA Methylation in Bovine Cells by Knocking Down DNA Methyltransferase-1 with RNA Interference
(2010-01-20)
Embryos derived by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) produce few
pregnancies that result in a live, healthy offspring. This has largely been attributed to the
aberrant reprogramming of the somatic cell DNA used for ...
