Self-renewal of colony forming units (cfu) in serial bone marrow transplantation experiments [PDF]
The capacity of stem cells (CFU) for self‐renewal was tested by transplanting normal bone marrow (primary transplantation) and bone marrow which had been subjected to one or two earlier transplantations (secondary and tertiary transplantation) into ...

Induction of VEGF secretion from bone marrow stromal cell line (ST-2) by the dissolution products of mesoporous silica glass particles containing CuO and SrO [PDF]
Certain biomaterials are capable of inducing the secretion of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) from cells exposed to their biochemical influence, which plays a vital role in stimulating angiogenesis. Looking for this capacity, in this study three porous glasses were synthesized and characterized.

U-Statistics for Left Truncated and Right Censored Data [PDF]
The analysis left truncated and right censored data is very common in survival and reliability analysis. In lifetime studies patients often subject to left truncation in addition to right censoring. For example, in bone marrow transplant studies based on International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (IBMTR), the patients who die while waiting for the ...

Bone marrow transplantation for thalassemia [PDF]
Early trials of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for homozygous beta-thalassemia and the analyses of results of transplantation in patients less than 16 years old have allowed us to identify three classes of risk using the criteria of degree of hepatomegaly, the degree of portal fibrosis and the quality of the chelation treatment given ...
