Estimating Bacterial and Cellular Load in FCFM Imaging
We address the task of estimating bacterial and cellular load in the human distal lung with fibered confocal fluorescence microscopy (FCFM). In pulmonary FCFM some cells can display autofluorescence, and they appear as disc like objects in the FCFM ...

Specifying sickle cell disease interventions: A study protocol of the Sickle Cell Disease Implementation Consortium (SCDIC) [PDF]
Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that results in a lifetime of anemia, severe pain, and end-organ damage that can lead to premature mortality.

Endogenous electric fields as guiding cue for cell migration
This review is about the long-range action of endogenous electric fields (EF) within animal organisms. It covers two major topics: 1) the different functions of the EF during development of the organism as well as physiological and pathological roles of ...

Clinical presentation, management and follow-up of 83 patients with Leydig cell tumors of the testis: a prospective case-cohort study [PDF]
LCTs are more frequent than generally believed, are associated with male infertility, cryptorchidism and gynecomastia, and should be treated conservatively (in compliant patients) with active surveillance, which appears to be a safe alternative to ...

Lipid Specific Membrane Interaction of Aptamers and Cytotoxicity
We aim to discover diagnostic tools to detect phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization on apoptotic cell surface using PS binding aptamers, AAAGAC and TAAAGA, and hence to understand chemotherapy drug efficacy when inducing apoptosis into cancer cells ...

Ovine induced pluripotent stem cells are resistant to reprogramming after nuclear transfer [PDF]
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) share similar characteristics of indefinite in vitro growth with embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and may therefore serve as a useful tool for the targeted genetic modification of farm animals via nuclear transfer (NT ...

Multiplexing cell-cell communication
AbstractThe engineering of advanced multicellular behaviors, such as the programmed growth of biofilms or tissues, requires cells to communicate multiple aspects of physiological information. Unfortunately, few cell-cell communication systems have been developed for synthetic biology. Here, we engineer a genetically-encoded channel selector device that

Expression of Innate Immune Response Genes in Liver and Three Types of Adipose Tissue in Cloned Pigs [PDF]
The pig has been proposed as a relevant model for human obesity-induced inflammation, and cloning may improve the applicability of this model. We tested the assumptions that cloning would reduce interindividual variation in gene expression of innate ...

Cells, Stem Cells, and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
The stem cell field owes a great deal to the previous work conducted by embryologists and researchers devoted to reproductive medicine. The time is coming when this emerging field will pay off in the reproductive sciences by offering new avenues of understanding gametogenesis and early embryonic development.
