Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMicroarray Analysis of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Responses to Bacterial LipopolysaccharideJoe Minta James, J. Yun, Sandy Der, Shikha RanaAccumulating evidence suggest a causal role of bacterial and viral infections in atherogenesis. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to stimulate resting vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) with the production of inflammatory cytokines and modulation of quiescent cells to the proliferative and synthetic phenotype. To comprehensively identify biologically important genes associated with LPS-induced SMC phenotype modulation, we compared the transcriptomes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,998 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of Cell-Responsive Nanophase Hydroxyapatite for Tissue EngineeringR. Murugan, S. RamakrishnaScaffold plays a critical role in engineering bone tissues by providing necessary structural support for the cells to accommodate and guiding their growth in the three dimensional (3D) space. Therefore, designing scaffold that mimic composition and structural aspects of the bone is of great importance to promote cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, osteointegration, tissue formation and continued function. Nanophase hydroxyapatite (HA) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSurface Properties of Cell-treated Polyethylene TerephthalateBing Shi, Hong Liang, Thomas B. Kuhn, Lawrence K. DuffyThe materials used in artificial joints undergo degradation through fatigue and corrosive wear in human body. The lifetime for well-designed artificial joints like hip joints is at most 12 years and a patient will usually have two total joint replacements during his/her lifetime. Tissue engineering, an alternative to total joint implantation, is the replacement of damaged tissue with the tissue … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacteristic Curve of a Fuel CellMuzamir Isa, Baharuddin Ismail, Che Mat Hadzer et al.The aim of this study was to deliver information about the features of fuel cells. It cover analysis of theory and experiment done using a set of tool called Hydro Genius Teach. The experiment is about investigating the characteristic curve of a fuel cell from the processes of renewable energy. Others objectives of this study were to analyze current usage … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance Study On An Intermediate Temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (IT-SOFT) Fabricated By Dry Pressing MethodA. Rifau, Z. Zainal, D. Mutharasu et al.An intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC) has been developed by using the dry pressing method. Widely studied materials were used for anode and cathode and SDC based electrolyte was used in this study. The cells were fabricated by dry-pressed at different pressures using a die without any binding material, a known amount of three electrode materials in powder … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Branching Cell Population Model Allowing for Cell DeathMounir AoutWe use multi-type branching processes to describe a general cell population model allowing for cell death. Unlike the case without cell death, the process can be subcritical, critical or supercritical. Since we are interested in the supercritical case where the process can escape extinction with positive probability, we give conditions ensuring the supercriticality. In this context, we show the existence … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLoss of Morphine-induced Suppression of NK Cell activity and T-cell Functions in µ-Opioid Receptor Knockout MiceRichard J. Weber, Ricardo Gomez-Flores, Ichiro Sora, George R. UhlIn vivo administration of µ-opioid receptor selective agonists to various species is known to suppress lymphocyte, NK cell, and macrophage functions, in addition to mediate pain relief and euphoria. Using a mouse model in which the µ-opioid receptor gene was disrupted by targeted homologous recombination, we explored the involvement of this receptor in natural killer (NK) cell activity and T … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,941 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHuman Latrophilin-2 is Expressed in the Cytotrophoblast and Syncytiotrophoblast of Placenta and in Endothelial CellsGunda Herberth, Anke Stein, Jens Glienke et al.Latrophilin-2 is a member of the family of adhesion-GPCRs that is characterised by a long N-terminus which contains motifs identified in proteins involved in cell adhesion. We were interested in determining the expression pattern of human latrophilin-2 and to perform a biochemical characterisation of this protein. The expression pattern of latrophilin-2 was analysed in human organs, tissues and cell lines. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 8,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Serial Passaging on the Morphology and Biological Characteristics of Human Adipose Tissue-derived Stem CellsLenka Oravcova, Martin Bohac, Lubica Krajciova et al.Somatic stem cells posses an exclusive property of self regeneration and plasticity which makes them promising candidates for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In the case of stem cell therapy it is crucial to obtain them in sufficient amount. That's why they have to be cultured under in vitro conditions. Long term culture provides adequate number of cells, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2016 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePotential of HMEC-1 Line and HUVEC Primary Culture Cells to Study the Neonatal IgG Fc Receptor in vitroLuz Belinda Ortiz-Alegría, Irma Cañedo-Solares, Felipe Vadillo-Ortega et al.The neonatal IgG Fc receptor (FcRn) plays an important role in IgG homeostasis and immunity passive transfer. Fine points regarding these mechanisms, however, are still emerging. In order to obtain information about these phenomena, it is essential to have in vitro models of endothelium that express this receptor. In this study we chose two widely used models of human endothelial … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2016 · 9,455 accessesView PDFCite
