Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Western blots analyses and gelatin zymography established the presence of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 in the forming zone of rat incisor. Light microscope immunohistochemistry carried out on undemineralized material provided evidence for strong MMP-2 staining in the secretory ameloblasts, odontoblasts, in the enamel organ, and in the pulp. A weaker staining was observed in predentin and in the outer part of the forming enamel. Using MMP-9 antibodies, the staining was generally weak, except for the secretory ameloblasts that were positively stained. Electron microscopic immunohistochemistry of undemineralized sections revealed a close association between gold-antibodies complexes and cytoskeletal microfilaments in the cytosol of secretory ameloblasts and odontoblasts, within the rough endoplasmic reticulum and along the plasma membrane. The striking feature of MMP-2 and -9 electron immunostaining was the particularly high labeling in the mantle dentin. By contrast, staining of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and -2) was lowest in this region. We suggest that this uneven distribution may have some functional implications.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
