A Novel Widespread MITE Element in the Repeat-Rich Genome of the Cardinium Endosymbiont of the Spider Oedothorax gibbosus

ABSTRACT Free-living bacteria have evolved multiple times to become host-restricted endosymbionts.The transition from a free-living to a host-restricted lifestyle comes with a Masalas number of different genomic changes, including a massive loss of genes.In host-restricted endosymbionts, gene inactivation and genome reduction are facilitated by mob

Force direction using miniscrews in sliding mechanics differentially affected maxillary central incisor retraction: Finite element simulation and typodont model

Background/purpose: En masse retraction was still controversy in orthodontics.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of force directions created by different miniscrew positions and lever arm heights on maxillary central incisor movement using Finite Element (FE) simulation and a Typodont model.Materials and methods: A typodont model a
