The created white blood cell dataset contains a total of 10426 normal cells. To increase the variability of normal cells within the dataset, we included in the normal cell categories also mature cells from pathological and non-leukemic diagnoses. Besides the five basic normal cell categories, the ...
(CSF-VDRL) test and CSF-Treponema pallidum particle assay (CSF-TPPA), or nonreactive CSF-VDRL but reactive CSF-TPPA with (3) elevated CSF-protein levels (> 500 mg/L) and/or pleocytosis (> 10 white blood cells/µL) in the absence of other known causes of these abnormalities [...
can lose their differentiated features and give rise to a whole plant; in animals this is less certain, and there is still controversy as to whether the undifferentiated cells of the blastema that forms at the end of an amputated
Although rheologic properties of the erythrocytes have been well investigated, the rheologic properties of white cells are not well established and appear to be very sensitive to the environment. We present our studies of the deformability, recovery, and activity of granulocytic white blood cells. We...
METHODS: Twenty liters of whole blood per LVL were processed in 22 patients with acute leukemia and lymphoma. LVL were performed in rapid recovery phase (white cells >3x109/L, or CD34+ cells > 1% of white cells) after chemotherapy followed by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor. The end ...
(Fig.4b). PF4 is released from activated platelets, acts to facilitate blood clotting and plays a key pro-inflammatory role in inflammatory bowel disease and NEC [17,52]. CCL2 is a chemokine secreted by monocytes, macrophages and endothelial cells; a higher CCL2 secretion was reported in ...
By this culture method, total nucleated cells were increased 208±66 (mean±SD, n=13), or 94+29 (meaniSD, n=5) fold in the culture of cord blood (CB) or bone marrow (BM) CD34+ cells, respectively, compared with the initial number of CD34+ cells at the time of starting culture....

Insects use sex pheromones as a reproductive isolating mechanism to attract conspecifics and repel heterospecifics. Despite the profound knowledge of sex pheromones, little is known about the coevolutionary mechanisms and constraints on their production
