Background: There is a worldwide effort to present novel approaches for the development of tolerance-induction treatments in regenerative medicine, after years of investigation in clinical transplantation. Particularly, novel approaches are based on controlling the immune response, including the application of biomaterials or imitation of antigen-specific peripheral tolerance in either solid-or...

recent findings in stem cell biology have opened a new window in regenerative medicine. the endometrium possesses mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) called endometrial stem cells (enscs) having specific regenerative properties linked to adult stem cells. they contribute in tissue remodeling and engineering and were shown to have immuno-modulating effects. many clinical trials were undertaken to asce...

modeling the heat and mass transport in micro channel is being used extensively in researches and industrial applications. the aim is optimizing fuel cell designs before building a prototype for engineering application. in this study, numerical, three-dimensional, single phase computational fluid dynamics model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell with both the gas distribution flow channels...

to simulate a new economical architecture for pem fuel cell and investigate the effectiveness of the introduced structure on the performance, computational fluid dynamics (cfd) code is used to solve the equations for a single domain of the cell namely: the flow field, the mass conservation, the energy conservation, the species transport, and the electric/ionic fields under the assumptions of st...
