Fibrous cap smooth muscle cells (SMCs) protect atherosclerotic lesions from rupturing and causing thrombosis, while other plaque SMCs may have detrimental roles in plaque development. To gain insight into recruitment of different plaque SMCs, we mapped their clonal architecture in aggregation chimeras of eGFP+Apoe-/- and Apoe-/- mouse embryos and in mice with a mosaic expression of fluorescent ...

The aggregative behaviour and subsequent morphogenesis of extra-embryonic endoderm cells from primitive-streak chick embryos have been investigated. A relatively pure population of area opaca endoderm cells was obtained by differential dissociation, which involves partial separation of epiblast and endoderm cell clumps by sieving through Nitex mesh. For aggregation studies cells were cultured i...

Benefited from the powerful ability of spatial temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (ST-GCNs), skeleton-based human action recognition has gained promising success. However, node interaction through message propagation does not always provide complementary information. Instead, it May even produce destructive noise and thus make learned representations indistinguishable. Inevitably, graph repr...

Significant progress has been achieved in improving the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) for a decade, but long-term stability is still underdeveloped. In regular PSC structure, 2,2?,7,7?-tetrakis(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)9,9?-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) with Li additives and metal electrodes are widely adopted, which leads to facile degradation under dev...

When tobacco is smoked, chewed or snuffed, nicotine is absorbed by the lungs or mucous membrane and quickly moved into the bloodstream, where it is circulated throughout the brain. In fact nicotine is highly dangerous to be consumed in any form. The present study was conducted to know the adverse effects of nicotine on the platelet aggregation in cerebral microvessels of mice. Male mice of aver...

To study the resistance to standard dosage of clopidogrel among Iranian patients following percutaneous coronary intervention measured by platelet aggregation test.Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in Imam Hussein Medical center, Tehran, Iran, who were under treatment with aspirin, but had no history of clopidogrel usage, entered the study. Patients received standard dosage...

Several recent works have shown that image descriptors produced by deep convolutional neural networks provide state-of-the-art performance for image classification and retrieval problems. It has also been shown that the activations from the convolutional layers can be interpreted as local features describing particular image regions. These local features can be aggregated using aggregation appr...

Culture of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) as in vitro multicellular aggregates has been increasingly used as a method to model early embryonic development. Three-dimensional assemblies of hPSCs facilitate interactions between cells and their microenvironment to promote morphogenesis, analogous to the multicellular organization that accompanies embryogenesis. In this paper, we describe a me...

Computer networking often pushes the limit of available bandwidth. Although bandwidth speed has historically increased 10 fold in recent years, reusing existing materials to achieve comparable results to installing new infrastructure is typically preferred. Moreover, the failure of one high speed link results in a significant drop in a network’s instantaneous bandwidth. Bandwidth aggregation al...
