It is well established that microglial form and function are inextricably linked. In recent years,
the traditional view that microglial form ranges between “ramified resting” and “activated …

The natural complexity of the brain, its hierarchical structure, and the sophisticated
topological architecture of the neurons organized in micronetworks and macronetworks are …

Chronic use of drugs of abuse affects neuroimmune signaling; however, there are still many
open questions regarding the interactions between neuroimmune mechanisms and …

Tissue engineering is currently one of the most exciting fields in biology (Grayson et al.,
2009). Fractal analysis is equally exciting (Di Ieva et al., 2013), as is the study of microglia …

This chapter lays out the elementary principles of fractal geometry underpinning much of the
rest of this book. It assumes a minimal mathematical background, defines the key principles …

Abstract A polystyrene ELISA plate (EP) modified with a thin film based on gold nanoseeds
(AuSDs) assembled onto polydopamine (PDA) is proposed. The nanodecorated film (PDA …

Many of nature's fractal objects benefit from the favorable functionality that results from their
pattern repetition at multiple scales. Our recent research focused on the importance of fractal …

This study calls attention to the difference between traditional box‐counting method and its
modification. The appropriate scaling factor, influence on image size and resolution, and …

Introduction Cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN) represent precursor lesions of cervical
cancer. These neoplastic lesions are traditionally subdivided into three categories CIN 1 …

Sputtered Thin Films: Theory and Fractal Descriptions provides an overview of sputtered thin
films and demystifies the concept of fractal theory in analysis of sputtered thin films. It …
