Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) and Related Perfluorinated Compounds in Human Maternal and Cord Blood Samples: Assessment of PFOS Exposure in a Susceptible Population during Pregnancy [PDF]
, 2004 Fluorinated organic compounds (FOCs), such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), and perfluorooctane sulfonylamide (PFOSA), are widely used in the manufacture of plastic, electronics, textile, and construction material in the ...

Cord Blood Graft Engineering [PDF]
Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, 2013 Once considered solely medical waste and routinely discarded as part of the afterbirth, umbilical cord blood (CB) is now commonly used as a source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for patients in need of HSC transplantation (HSCT) (or, as more commonly referred to, bone marrow transplantation) for the treatment of both malignant and nonmalignant ...

Cord-blood vitamin D level and night sleep duration in preschoolers in the EDEN mother-child birth cohort [PDF]
Sleep Medicine, Elsevier, 2019, 53, pp.70-74, 2019 Objective: 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) deficiency has been associated with sleep disorders in adults. Only three cross-sectional studies were performed in children and showed an association between 25OHD deficiency and both obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and primary snoring.

Multiphase modeling and qualitative analysis of the growth of tumor cords [PDF]
Netw. Heterog. Media, 3(1):43-83, 2008, 2009 In this paper a macroscopic model of tumor cord growth is developed, relying on the mathematical theory of deformable porous media. Tumor is modeled as a saturated mixture of proliferating cells, extracellular fluid and extracellular matrix, that occupies a spatial region close to a blood vessel whence cells get the nutrient needed for their vital ...

Contact-inhibited chemotaxis in de novo and sprouting blood-vessel growth [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology 2008, 4(9): e1000163, 2005 Blood vessels form either when dispersed endothelial cells (the cells lining the inner walls of fully-formed blood vessels) organize into a vessel network (vasculogenesis), or by sprouting or splitting of existing blood vessels (angiogenesis). Although they are closely related biologically, no current model explains both phenomena with a single ...

Engineering cord blood to improve engraftment after cord blood transplant [PDF]
Stem Cell Investigation, 2017 Umbilical cord blood transplant (CBT) has traditionally been associated with slower engraftment of neutrophils, delayed immune reconstitution and consequently higher risk of infections as compared with peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) or bone marrow (BM) transplants.

3-D refractive index tomograms and deformability of individual human red blood cells from cord blood of newborn infants and maternal blood [PDF]
, 2015 Red blood cells (RBCs) from the cord blood of newborn infants have distinctive functions for fetal and infant development. To systematically investigate the biophysical characteristics of individual cord RBCs in newborn infants, a comparative study was performed of RBCs from cord blood of newborn infants, and of adult RBCs from mothers or non-pregnant ...

Lipidomics of human umbilical cord serum : identification of unique sterol sulfates [PDF]
, 2017 Aim: There are currently limited lipidomics data for human umbilical cord blood. Therefore, the lipidomes of cord sera from six newborns and sera from six nonpregnant females were compared.
