background: amniotic membrane derived stem cells (amscs) have considerable advantages to use in regenerative medicine and their anti- inflammatory effects, growth factor secretion and differentiation potential make them suitable candidates for stem cell therapy of nervous system. the developing and neonatal brain contains a spectrum of growth factors to direct development of endogenous and dono...

The mouse hematopoietic system was subjected to repeated depletion and regeneration either by serial transfer of bone marrow cells through lethally irradiated recipients or by repeated treatment with the cycle-active drug hydroxyurea (HU). The capacity of surviving stem cells to proliferate and self-renew was assayed at intervals by two methods: (a) the spleen colony method; and (b) competitive...

e-Learning, while offering many advantages over traditional classroom-based courses, has not fulfilled its aim as the ultimate solution to the training problem. Many organizations are now examining different blends of learning, taking the best aspects of both classroom-based and on-line training, to provide more effective learning opportunities to employees. Lifelong up-skilling is vital in the...

Most research into human resource management offers best practice strategies but often assumes that employees and organizations are homogenous. The events industry is fundamentally different: it a stressful, fast paced, competitive, deadline-driven with unsociable working hours. Human (HRM) in currently adopts short-term operational approach, which has led to the having high staff turnover, suf...

Adult stem cells have the ability to self-renew and to generate specialized cells. Self-renewal is dependent on extrinsic niche factors but few of those signals have been identified. In addition, stem cells tend to differentiate in the absence of the proper signals and are therefore difficult to maintain in cell culture. The mammary gland provides an excellent system to study self-renewal signa...
