THEORETICAL MODEL FOR CELLULAR SHAPES DRIVEN BY PROTRUSIVE AND ADHESIVE FORCES.

The forces that arise from the actin cytoskeleton play a crucial role in determining the cell shape.These include protrusive forces due to actin polymerization and adhesion to the external matrix.We present here a theoretical model for the cellular shapes resulting from the feedback between the membrane shape and the forces acting on the membrane,

Scientific evidence is not clear regarding the use of antimicrobial mouth rinse before dental extraction to reduce bacteremia.We tested the null hypothesis that there would be no difference in the incidence of bacteremia following dental extractions in patients treated with or without chlorhexidine.We conducted a meta-analysis following the recomme
