This novel treatment option appears promising, because it facilitates synthesis of matrix molecules that compose the IVD structure, and may also help prevent matrix degradation and/or cell death to detain the progression of disc degeneration.
In addition to the abovementioned temporal brain functional networks, in this study, we also constructed spatial brain functional networks derived from thresholding inter-regional spatial correlation matrices that were composed of correlation coefficients between every pair of vectors in the temporal correlation matrices above (see Materials and Methods).
Thus, regression analyses were performed using X and Y matrices that were each composed of 9 rows (sampling sites) and 13 or 15 columns (average site concentration of individual PAHs), for univariate regression and PLS, respectively.
It came out that the system, which was initially consisted of 23% small icosahedral clusters (ICO) embedded in an amorphous matrix that is composed by local ICO fragments, distorted ICOs and truncated octahedral clusters, upon compressive solicitation is gradually transformed in a locally more ICO-like structure at expense of the amorphous matrix.
Osteoblasts, derived of a mesenchymal origin, produce the organic bone matrix that is composed largely of type I collagen and facilitate its mineralization.
For EnRICH, list data is represented as a named matrix that is composed of one column of elements and zero to multiple attribute columns.
A distinguishing feature of biofilms is an extracellular matrix that is composed of short and long chain oligonucleotides (32), species specific proteins (33) and polysaccharides (31), as well as the biochemical derivatives and monomeric units of these compounds (26, 34).
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.03650.002 Biofilms are complex agglomerations of sessile, microbial cells surrounded in a self-secreted extracellular matrix that is composed primarily of exopolysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids (Hall-Stoodley et al., 2004).
These cells have been termed fibrochondrocytes [ 17] and are surrounded by an extracellular matrix that is composed of collagen types I and II [ 17- 19], with a higher content of aggrecan than in the outer region [ 22- 24].
A number of genes within this group encode proteins that compose or regulate extracellular matrix including BGN, SPARC, CTGF, THBS, VIM, and COL1A1.
