background the aim of this study was the ex vivo expansion of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells on biocompatible nanofiber scaffolds. materials and methods cd133+ hematopoietic stem cells were separated from umbilical cord blood using midimacs (positive selection) system by means of monocolonal antibody cd133 (microbeads) subsequently, flowcytometry method was done to assess the pur...

To investigate the production of cellulases from Aspergillus heteromorphus, submerged fermentation was performed using wheat straw as substrate. Optimization of saccharification conditions like pH, temperature and time were studied. Highest reducing sugar was released on 5 day at 5 pH, 30 C temperature. When A. heteromorphous was grown on wheat straw in submerged fermentation after 5 days incub...

Cultured pluripotent stem cells hold great promise for regenerative medicine. Considerable efforts have been invested into the refinement and definition of improved culture systems that sustain self-renewal and avoid differentiation of pluripotent cells in vitro. Recent studies have, however, found that the choice of culture condition has a significant impact on epigenetic profiles of cultured ...
