phosphatase enzymes in the blood stream. 6. Summarize the findings in figure 5. Do you agree with the findings? Why or why not? Micrographs of osteogenic assessment of hMSCs on CHACC, by electron microscopy in vitro (A–D) and light microscopy in vivo (E), (F). (A), (C) hMSCs on CHACC, 16 days in control culture medium. (B), (D) hMSCs on CHACC, 16 days in osteogenic medium. Notice the rougher and more mature collagen fibres in (D) in comparison with (C). (E) CHACC + risedronate, implanted…

William Daubert, his wife and two children filed a petition to the Supreme Court of the United States against Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals. The petitioners alleged that birth defects caused in their two children were due to the side effects of a Bendectin, a prescription anti-nausea drug, ingested by the mother during pregnancy. The respondent produced 30 published research papers involving 130,000 patients and a testimony from a credentialed epidemiologist stating that this drug had no links…

Abstract Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) is the most efficiently used treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma. It is a therapy where a patient’s T cells are collected and proliferated to a very huge number in the laboratory to be reinserted again into his body to be able to recognize and kill these tumor cells. In recently conducted clinical trials, the use of increasing concentration of lymphodepletion before infusion of autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) displayed response…

A century ago, the humankind had no idea about tumor necrosis factor (TNF); however, physician William B Cooley was able to demonstrate the principle of anti-tumoral response in vivo as early as in 1891 (1,2). He escalated the idea of anti-tumoral response based on his observation of remission of lesions in patients injected with a mixture of dead Streptococcus pyogenes and Serratia marcescens bacteria (1, 2). Due to the lack of understanding of mechanism behind this observation, it was not…

cells, therefore, suggesting that ATF3 functions as an oncogene in melanoma. Subsequently, the same group described an oncogenic role of ATF3 in a human colon cancer cell line; wherein knock-down of ATF3 in the cancer cells reduced tumor growth in vivo and increased survival of the mice. However,…

of Property Act 1925 is the modern provision that is used by the courts nowadays, although the original provisions are still used in some jurisdictions. The first part of this essay is concerned with the formalities in relation to a lifetime (inter vivos) express…

stressed to non-stressed rat hippocampus neurons in vitro (Wang 2011). Mutant, GFP-Htt protein was also observed in TNTs in vitro, transferring between primary CGN, suggesting a role for TNT mediated spread of Huntington’s in the brain (Costanzo 2013). In vivo, TNTs have been observed in drosophila and between dendritic cells in mouse cornea (Knopik-Skrocka 2014). It is plausible that TNTs play a role in PD since TNTs are involved in various neurodegenerative disorders, and α-synuclein has been…

Introduction Doxorubicin, an anthracycline antibiotic, is commonly used as an effective antineoplastic agent, in the treatment of various of malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, and solid tumors. Unfortunately, the clinical use of this drug is limited by cumulative dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, which may cause irreversible and severe effect of cardiomyopathy [1] The specific mechanisms of doxorubicin (DOX) induced cardiotoxicity are complex and although decades of research on this drug,…

It’s around 5 pm in the evening when I usually sit down on the couch and watch the news on TV with my parents. My parents speak little English so we stick with a Spanish news program called Al Rojo Vivo on Telemundo. I sometimes look at some news articles that show up on Yahoo while I go through my emails, but besides that I don’t really pay too much attention to it even though I know I should. The news program I watch has deal with how police have mistreated the people in the community and…

This gene therapy was achieved through the use of hemodynamic tail vein injections to transfect hepatocytes in vivo with a plasmid containing osteocalcin and a control empty vector. The gene therapy was also designed to express a vector engineered to cause synthesis of a mutated osteocalcin protein which was incapable of being carboxylated. The expression of both…
