There were ten genes with increased expression (Esm1, Okl38, Mustn1, Omd, Spp1, Serpine1, Rnf39, Mafk, Gpnmb, Dyrk1a) and seven genes with reduced expression (Col3a1, Pvalb, Acsl6, Ret, Cxcl12, Rtn4, Ddah1) related to morphogenesis, organogenesis and organ development, a group involved in the formation and organization of tissue and organ structure.
Due to the high inherent sensitivity of these parameters to changes in tissue architecture (i.e., macromolecular, cellular, tissue, and organ structure) and in its physiologic state, their potential applications include monitoring structural changes in development, aging, and disease.
When used properly, radiation may cause less damage than surgery and can often preserve organ structure and function.
All the ethically important characteristics of the child will be derived from the nuclear donor (the woman with the mitochondrial disease) – organ structure and function, personality, intellectual and emotional characteristics, appearance, etc.
A critical question remains unanswered concerning the cause of the intrinsic retrogressive changes in cell and organ structure and function that occur throughout the aging process.
The kidneys were built from decellularized kidney scaffolds that retained the basic organ structure, including the cortical and medullary frameworks, the collecting tubules (which concentrate and transport urine from the nephrons), and the ureters.
No true multicellular organism is known to grow solid tissue or organ structures that are not attached in some way to the rest of the organism.
With further development, this technology could potentially be used to print living tissue and organ structures for surgical implantation".
Not only are many of the Messel bird specimens fairly complete (knowing which leg bone goes with which wing bone is a privilege in the field of bird palaeontology), many of them also contain traces of feathers, and in some cases, internal organ structures and glands.
The brain is an enormously complex organ structured into various regions of layered tissue.
Clearly, the TNM staging system is lagging behind on several grounds [32], including what constitutes neighbouring "organ" structures.
