Abstract X-ray grating interferometry allows for the simultaneous acquisition of attenuation, differential-phase contrast, and dark-field images, resulting from X-ray attenuation, refraction, and small-angle scattering, respectively.The modulated phase grating (MPG) interferometer is a recently developed grating interferometry system capable of gen
Abstract Introduction Surgical treatment for lumbar burst fractures is complex and typically involves either a retroperitoneal corpectomy and/or a posterior pedicle screw fixation.We describe the case of a patient with a lumbar burst fracture who was cured via a less invasive approach that has not been previously reported as standalone treatment.Ca
BackgroundThe elucidation of mammalian transcriptional regulatory networks holds great promise for both basic and translational research and remains one the greatest challenges to systems biology.Recent reverse engineering methods deduce regulatory interactions from large-scale mRNA expression profiles and cross-species conserved regulatory regions
In this article, the author performs a philosophical and a comparative analysis of the new phenomenon of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a legal context.South Africa is in a a difficult position in adapting its legal system to such a radical change, having inherited both the Roman-Dutch law (a great part of its substantive law, especially Private L
Abstract Skeletal stem cells (SSCs, or mesenchymal stromal cells typically referred to as mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow) are a dynamic progenitor population that can enter quiescence, self-renew or differentiate depending on regenerative demand and cues from their niche environment.However, ex vivo, in culture, they are grown typicall
