human  basophils play a key role in allergic diseases such as asthma and in a variety of  immunological disorders.  the  generation  of  il-4  and  il-13  can  be  induced  from basophil  by  ige-mediated   and   non-ige-mediated   mechanisms.  time   and   stimulus- dependent  differences  in  the  regulation  of  these  cytokines  could  have  relevance  to their biological effects. the aim o...

Introduction: Human hematopoietic stem cells (hHSCs) have been used for transplantation in hematologic failures. Because the number of hHSCs per cord blood unit is limited, the expansion of these cells is important for clinical application. It has been reported that cytokines and feeder layer provide a perspective to in vitro expansion of hHSCs. In this regard, cord blood CD34+ cells ex...

inflammatory responses and innate immunologic reactions play an important role in the respiratory system. ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) is considered a novel method in the evaluation and reconditioning of donor lungs prior to transplantation. however, evlp’s effect on inflammatory and metabolic markers of human lung tissue is unknown. this study investigated how the performance of evlp on brain...
