Does irradiation modify mechanical properties of cancellous bone under compression?
Although gamma radiation sterilization influences the mechanical properties and failure processes in cortical bone, it does not appear to influence the performance of cancellous bone under uniaxial loading.
Irbit promotes synergy between the Ca(2+) and cAMP signaling pathways in cultured cells and in pancreatic and salivary ducts from mice. Defects in this pathway could be involved in cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, or Sjögren syndrome.
