The homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS) is ensured by the endothelial,
epithelial, mesothelial and glial brain barriers, which strictly control the passage of …

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) act as key signalling molecules in brain development,
maintenance, and repair. They influence the intricate relationship between myelinating cells …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

A clear, engaging writing style, hundreds of full-color images, and new information
throughout make Volpe's Neurology of the Newborn, 6th Edition, an indispensable resource …

Background: Angiogenesis is likely critical for the process of intramembranous
osteogenesis; however, the developmental relationship between blood vessels and bone …

Abstract Magnesium (Mg2+), as a main component of bone, is widely applied to promote
bone growth and regeneration. However, Mg2+ can chemically inhibit the crystallization of …

The meninges are membranous layers surrounding the central nervous system. In the head,
the meninges lie between the brain and the skull, and interact closely with both during …

Traditional and new disciplines converge in suggesting that the parietal lobe underwent a
considerable expansion during human evolution. Through the study of endocasts and shape …

In spite of the brain-protecting tissues of the skull, meninges, and blood-brain barrier, some
forms of injury to or infection of the CNS can give rise to cerebral cytokine production and …

Skull bone mineral density (SK-BMD) provides a suitable trait for the discovery of key genes
in bone biology, particularly to intramembranous ossification, not captured at other skeletal …
