TL;DR: Results indicate that BNNT is a potential reinforcement for composites for orthopedic applications and interactions of the osteoblasts and macrophages with bare BNNTs prove them to be non-cytotoxic.

TL;DR: An in vitro biocompatibility study on the composites shows an increase in the viability of human osteoblast cells compared to the PLC matrix, which is attributed to the combined effect of CNT content and surface roughness of the composite films.

TL;DR: There was a slight increase in the numbers and viability of osteoblasts grown on HA-CNT compared with HA alone, demonstrating that loose CNT does not pose a problem to these cells.

TL;DR: Recent advances in deciphering mycobacterial genomes and characterization of carotenoid synthesis genes, combined with an urgent need for innovative approaches to understand Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenic properties open new avenues for exciting research opportunities that might lead to new therapeutic strategies against a devastating secular disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of nucleotide sequences corresponding to the different allelic forms of the bovine genome extension gene, also known as the E gene, or corresponding to fragments of these different allele forms, for implementing a method of 'identification of different cattle populations or breeds, or of different herds, each grouping together several cattle populations and breeds' is described.
