Cliffs support rare, endemic, and glacial relict vegetation that may differ from vegetation in surrounding forests.Yet, cliffs are difficult to sample, and rock-dwelling lichens can be challenging to identify; therefore, cliff lichens are often excluded from biodiversity studies.This omission creates fundamental gaps in our understanding of cliff l
The formation of continental crust in the Mongolia-Transbaikalia region is researched to identify the mechanisms of interactions between the crust and the mantle in the development of the Neoarchean, Proterozoic and Paleozoic magmatic and sedimentary complexes in the study area.Using the results of his own studies conducted for many years and other
Small injection ports for mice are increasingly used for drug testing or when administering contrast agents.Commercially available mini-ports are expensive single-use items that cause imaging-artifacts.We developed and tested an artifact-free, low-cost, vascular access mini-port (VAMP) for mice.Leakage testing of the VAMP was conducted with high sp
Development of tools to be used for in vivo bone tissue regeneration focuses on cellular models and differentiation processes.In searching for all the optimal sources, adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs or preadipocytes) are able to differentiate into osteoblasts with analogous characteristics to bone marrow sepia plex mesenchyma
