These reports demonstrate rational strategies to attenuate and possibly reverse multi-tissue attrition, preventing a number of degenerative and metabolic diseases (sarcopenia, osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, neuro-degeneration, etc).
Hard dental tissues show attrition, worn teeth, cervical lesions, periodontal atrophy, excessive dental mobility, pain of unknown etiology, anemisation of lingual and buccal mucosa, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder symptoms: cracking, clicking, reduced mobility, and pain on palpation [ 9].
Dental wear is a term referring to a group of commonly observed dental tissue disorders, namely, erosion, attrition, abrasion, and abfraction [ 1].
Periapical inflammations were observed in several teeth in which the pulp tissue was exposed by attrition).
If p16INK4A upregulation is a cause of age-associated loss of regenerative capacity, then one would expect that deletion of p16INK4A would suppress stem and progenitor cell attrition and tissue degeneration with age.
Despite using fresh-frozen tissue samples, the high sample attrition rate (33%) from analyses prevented more meaningful clinical outcomes, such as treatment response, to be extrapolated from our results.
Acrylic-based hydrogels are well-suited for mucoadhesion due to their flexibility and nonabrasive characteristics which reduce damage-causing attrition to the tissues in contact.
Most mechanical influences on dentin, for example, abrasion and attrition, cause a plastic tissue flow and produce or remove a smear layer [ 145].
Because chondrocytes are solely responsible for maintaining cartilage tissue homeostasis, cell death and subsequent attrition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) can dramatically alter the structure and function of joints and result in the development of diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA).
In addition to epithelial attrition, the intralobular stroma of breast tissue is replaced with dense collagen connective tissue [ 69], and interlobular stroma is replaced with adipose tissue [ 70].
