Summary of: Isolation and Characterization of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Hematopoiesis-supportive Function and Other Potentials (Lu et al. 2006) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are fibroblast-like structural cells that are found in bone marrow, skeletal muscle, and other connective tissues. MSC derived from bone marrow (BM) have been shown to be self renewing and are capable of differentiation into a variety of stromal cell types including bone forming osteoblasts, fat storing

Whole cell bioluminescent bacterial biosensors. Introduction A biosensor is a system or device that is used for the measurement of a particular substance in which a biological component is used as the recognition element. (Urban, 2013). Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that combine a biological sensing element with a transducer to produce a signal proportional to the analyte concentration. They utilise immobilized viable or non viable microbial cells. Viable whole cell biosensors incorporate

Adenovirus is one of the most resistant waterborne pathogens to inactivation by UV irradiation. It poses a risk to human health and is listed on the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 3) subject to future regulation. Consequently, it has received lots of interest in the UV disinfection studies in recent years. Previous researchers found that irradiation from medium-pressure (MP) UV lamps (polychromatic) was more effective to inactivate adenovirus than UV 254 nm

Due to the devastating economic crisis in 2008, American automobile industry suffered a disastrous period. In particular, the sales volume of Chrysler went down 30.3% compared to 2007. Without doubt, Chrysler had the most terrible performance among the three giant native auto companies in North American while its market share declined to about 10%. Meanwhile, the cost of Chrysler was related high, which led Chrysler has less competitiveness. In addition, Chrysler also had heavy liabilities, and it

with C1INH inhibited HABP2, LPS and LMW-HA-mediated RhoA activation. LMW-HA was inhibited the least likely due to reasons stated above. Finally, Figure 2-C indicates that C1INH moderates EC barrier function. Specifically, pretreatment of HPMVEC monolayers with C1INH (100 ng/ml, 1 hour) attenuated LPS, LWM-HA and purified HABP2-mediated EC barrier disruption while slightly (but significantly) augmenting HMW-HA-mediated EC barrier enhancement. We next switched our focus to an in vivo model of LPS-induced

Final Exam What did I learn in this class? It would be truly impossible for me to talk about one thing which I learned in this class, because I had not had any Artificial Intelligence experience or class before, so everything covered in class was a learning experience for me, to include JAVA programming language. Within this paper, I will talk about not only what I learned in class, but also what I found to be interesting and what I will probably use in the future. The topics I feel I learned the

Anisotropic compressive response of Stone-Thrower-Wales defects in graphene: A molecular dynamics study G. Rajasekaran and Avinash Parashar Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee - 247667, India ABSTRACT: The mechanical properties of graphene sheet can be tailored with the help of topological defects. In this research article, the effects of Stone-Thrower-Wales (STW) defects on the mechanical properties of graphene sheet was investigated with

1  Study Guide for Lectures 8/24, 8/26, 8/31, and 9/2 Note: It is highly suggested that you reference the figures/figure legends shown in class to further help you understand class material. The Genome Project (~92% complete): • 20,000-28,000 genes in the human genome o The genome was found using a shotgun sequence. o 10% of the genome is Long Intersperse Nuclear Elements (=LINEs). This leaves the questions as to which part of the genome are LINEs?  80,000-120,000 proteins in a cell.  200,000-2

The epithelial cell consists of the keratinocyte cell that makes its monolayer. After getting nutrients, the growth factors of the epithelial cell enables it to grow and separate from the keratinocyte. The keratinocytes get support from fibroblasts as shown by keratinocyte lines. The keratinoctes depend on finite life enabled

Previous Research and Scholarly Productivity Ricardo Romo Previous Undergraduate Research. As an undergraduate at Southern Arkansas University I assisted in various research projects. I explored the effects of gamma rays on HUVEC (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell) cells, assembly of a Cartesian robot, and theoretically calculated thermal convections for my dorm. As a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) student at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (Winthrop P. Rockefeller
