Bioactive glass remnants were still visible in six out of eight large bone defects but not in the smaller sized bone defects.
In addition, complete copies of DNA transposons were often maintained in all species in which they were present while only truncated copies or small-sized remnants were present for many Class I elements (Additional file 13: Supplementary Data 2).
Extended LR is plagued with increased lethality as a result of "small for size" remnant liver mass, and hence best reproduces massive liver resections in patients with large tumors, or small for size liver grafts, as sometimes seen following LDLT [38].
