Modern biological discovery is becoming a domain where one increasingly requires a synthesis of disparate biological data to make significant progress. For example, over the life of an investigation it is not uncommon to need to employ QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) mapping techniques, access sequenced information of the candidate regions, cross species boundaries with sequence homologies via BL...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a C4 perennial warm season grass indigenous to the North American tallgrass prairie. A number of its natural and agronomic traits, including adaptation to a wide geographical distribution, low nutrient requirements and production costs, high water use efficiency, high biomass potential, ease of harvesting, and potential for carbon storage, make it an attract...

In vitro expansion of mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) into large number is necessary for their application in cell-based treatment of articular cartilage defects. On the other hand, some studies have indicated that BIO (6-Bromoindirubin-3-Oxime) possesses mitogenic effects on cell culture. The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of BIO on in vitro expansion and chondrogenic di...
