epicardial cells may lose mesothelial identity and undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), resulting in a population of epicardial-derived cells (EPDCs) that migrate into the myocardium2. These EPDCs may differentiate into smooth muscle ...
In multicellular organisms, long-term maintenance of tissue homeostasis requires a tight regulation of adult stem cell (ASC) activity to ensure efficient repair and regeneration1. In high-turnover mammalian tissues, like the intestine, population equilibrium is primarily controlled through the continual ...
* Month: 1=January, 2=February, etc.; the number of cases each month represent the total number of cases of pneumococcal meningitis diagnosed during the calendar month over the full observation period; graphed monthly temperature and rainfall also represent mean values observed during a calendar mo...
To complement the reviews, a basic decision-analytic model was constructed to explore a range of possible scenarios for the NHS in England and Wales. Results show that for every patient who receives an AI-CVC there is an estimated cost-saving of 138.20 pounds. The multivariate sensitivity ...
After 30 minutes the cells were resuspended in 1% osmium tetroxide, 0.1 mol/L sodium cacodylate, pH 7.2 for 15 minutes at room temperature and then washed twice in sodium cacodylate. This procedure prevented the formation of nonspecific aggregates while still preserving good ultrastructural morphology...
Within a population of MZ twin pairs, however, the range of within-twin-pair differences in the microbiomes can be as great as for DZ twins (Goodrich et al., 2014). We took advantage of the large spread in β-diversity for MZ co-twins to select co-twins that were either highly ...
NMR was conducted to observe the disappearance of the proton peak of NHS at 2.9 mM. The collagenase degradable LGPA sequence was conjugated to PEG as previously described22, reacting the peptide in sodium bicarbonate at a 1:2 (peptide:PEG) molar ratio for 24 hours at room temperature....
After a 30-min incubation in the dark at room temperature, the cells were washed again three times with DPBS-BSA at 300 g for 5 min. Then, the cells were incubated for 15 min at room temperature with Streptavidin-PE to label cells with bound antigen. The cells were again washed three ...
Res. Public Health 2018, 15, 2026 4 of 10 temperature and relative humidity are presented in Table 2. Four participants (6%) reported current smoking of cigarettes in the house. In these households the median PM10 and total PM levels were significantly (p = 0.002) higher compared with the ...
In contrast, when results for plasma 3β,7β-diOH-Δ5-Gly were evaluated, it was clear that the individual with NPC1 mutations had a value well within the normal range for the cohort (78 nM compared to the median of 85 nM) and this analyte could be of no value in screening for NPC...
