  2. Fibrocartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrocartilage

    In cases like this, the body will form a scar in the area using a special type of cartilage called fibrocartilage. [2] Fibrocartilage is a tough, dense, and fibrous material that helps fill in the torn part of the cartilage; however, it is not an ideal replacement for the smooth, glassy articular cartilage that normally covers the surface of ...

  3. Escherichia coli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_coli

    E. coli is a chemoheterotroph whose chemically defined medium must include a source of carbon and energy. [16] E. coli is the most widely studied prokaryotic model organism, and an important species in the fields of biotechnology and microbiology, where it has served as the host organism for the majority of work with recombinant DNA. Under ...

  4. Cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilage

    The division of cells within cartilage occurs very slowly, and thus growth in cartilage is usually not based on an increase in size or mass of the cartilage itself. [6] It has been identified that non-coding RNAs (e.g. miRNAs and long non-coding RNAs) as the most important epigenetic modulators can affect the chondrogenesis.

  5. Triangular fibrocartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_fibrocartilage

    The triangular fibrocartilage disc (TFC) is an articular discus that lies on the pole of the distal ulna. It has a triangular shape and a biconcave body; the periphery is thicker than its center. It has a triangular shape and a biconcave body; the periphery is thicker than its center.

  6. Cartilaginous joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilaginous_joint

    Secondary cartilaginous joints are known as "symphysis".These include fibrocartilaginous and hyaline joints, which usually occur at the midline. Some examples of secondary cartilaginous joints in human anatomy would be the manubriosternal joint (between the manubrium and the body of the sternum), intervertebral discs, and the pubic symphysis.

  7. E. Coli Metabolome Database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Coli_Metabolome_Database

    The E. coli Metabolome Database (ECMDB) [1] is a freely accessible, online database of small molecule metabolites found in or produced by Escherichia coli (E. coli strain K12, MG1655). Escherichia coli is perhaps the best studied bacterium on earth and has served as the "model microbe" in microbiology research for more than 60

  8. Escherichia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia

    While many Escherichia are commensal members of the gut microbiota, certain strains of some species, most notably the pathogenic serotypes of E. coli, are human pathogens, [7] and are the most common cause of urinary tract infections, [8] significant sources of gastrointestinal disease, ranging from simple diarrhea to dysentery-like conditions, [3] as well as a wide range of other pathogenic ...

  9. Enthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthesis

    Thus the words (enthesis and insertion [of muscle]) are proximal in the semantic field, but insertion in reference to muscle can refer to any relevant aspect of the site (i.e., the attachment per se, the bone, the tendon, or the entire area), whereas enthesis refers to the attachment per se and to ligamentous attachments as well as tendinous ones.
