Here we use bioluminescent, X-ray, and positron-emission tomography/computed tomography imaging to study how inhibiting mTOR activity impacts bone marrow-engrafted myeloma tumors in a xenograft model. This allows for physiologically relevant, non-invasive, and multimodal analyses of the anti-myeloma effect of therapies targeting bone marrow-engrafted myeloma tumors in vivo.

An efficient method to assess surface-exposure of leptospiral proteins is described. The method is specifically designed to avoid disruption of the fragile outer membrane of leptospiral cells. This technique requires employment of several negative controls to assess the integrity of the outer membrane and specificity of antibody reaction.

We describe an electrochemical sensor assay method for rapid bacterial detection and identification. The assay involves a sensor array functionalized with DNA oligonucleotide capture probes for ribosomal RNA (rRNA) species-specific sequences. Sandwich hybridization of target rRNA with the capture probe and a horseradish peroxidase-linked DNA oligonucleotide detector probe produces a measurable amperometric current.

FAQs
The greater cornua provide firm attachment areas for structures such as the hyoglossus, middle pharyngeal constrictor, thyrohyoid membrane, and parts of the pharyngeal framework. These attachments connect the hyoid with the tongue, pharyngeal tissues, and surrounding neck structures. Their arrangement helps transmit muscular and connective-tissue forces while maintaining the hyoid’s structural stability during coordinated movements.
Hyoid stabilization allows attached muscles and connective tissues to act against a relatively secure skeletal framework. The greater cornua contribute to this role through their rigid, curved form and relationships with adjacent tissues. Maintaining that support helps coordinate movements involving the pharynx, tongue, and neck during swallowing, speech, and tongue motion.
Variation in the size and shape of the greater cornua can change the visible or palpable configuration of the hyoid and its relationships with nearby tissues. Recognizing this variation helps distinguish normal anatomical differences from unexpected appearances. It is therefore relevant when studying hyoid anatomy, interpreting images, or considering developmental variation.
Their position and elongated posterolateral orientation help identify the hyoid and orient surrounding neck structures. Because the greater cornua connect the hyoid body with nearby muscular, membranous, and pharyngeal tissues, they provide useful spatial reference points. Anatomical learners and clinicians can use these relationships to interpret the arrangement of structures in the neck.
In imaging, the greater cornua help establish the location and orientation of the hyoid relative to adjacent neck tissues. Their size, shape, and anatomical relationships may explain differences in the appearance of this region. Using these landmarks supports more accurate recognition of surrounding structures and helps account for developmental or structural variation.
The greater cornua are relevant because their rigid form and connections with surrounding tissues make them identifiable parts of the hyoid framework. Their anatomical appearance can be considered when evaluating injuries or developmental differences. Comparing their size, shape, and relationships with nearby structures provides context for deciding whether an observed feature represents variation or a potentially significant abnormality.
