Platelet Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF): A Suitable Replacement for Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) in Mesenchymal Stem Cell Culture

Background: Due to high differentiation potential and self-renewality, Mesenchymal Stem Cells are now widely considered by researchers in several diseases. FBS is used as a supplement in culture media for proliferation, differentiation, and other culture processes of MSCs, which is associated with transmission risk of a variety of infections as well as immune responses. PRGF derived from platel...

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...

Photopolymerizable Biopolymers for Rapid Prototyping of Cellular Bone Replacement Materials

The disadvantages of materials, which are currently used in orthopaedic surgery have led to the development of new synthetic biocompatible and biodegradable materials. Rapid Prototyping offers the possibility to fabricate cellular structures with nearly arbitrary form and structures out of photocurable liquid acrylate-based formulations by radical polymerization. Such a composition consists of ...
