the liver fluke fasciola hepatica causes fascioliasis, a liver disease in most part of the world and particularly in north of iran. diagnosis of the diseases is anchored in coprological manner but serological methods are preferable due to some obscurities. in this study, sera obtained from human patients infected with fasciola hepatica were tested by the enzymelinked immunotrotransfer blot (eit...

Rats have important advantages over mice as an experimental system for physiological and pharmacological investigations. The lack of rat embryonic stem (ES) cells has restricted the availability of transgenic technologies to create genetic models in this species. Here, we show that rat ES cells can be efficiently derived, propagated, and genetically manipulated in the presence of small molecule...

Embedded solitons(ES) represent solitary waves which reside inside the continuous spectrum of a nonlinear-wave system. This type of solitons was first reported by Yang et al. [1] in optical models characterized by opposing dispersion and competing nonlinearities at fundamental and second harmonics. More specifically, optical media with quadratic χ and cubic χ nonlinear susceptibilities can supp...

Background This research studies the effects of activation and inhibition of Wnt3A signaling pathway in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) embryonic stem (ES) cell-like cells. MaterialsAndMethods To carry on this experimental study, the effects of activation and inhibition of Wnt3A signaling in buffalo ES cell-like cells were examined using Bio (0.5 mM) combined with WNT3A (200 ng/ml), as an activator, ...

This research-in-progress study proposes a research model to analyze the benefits of Enterprise Systems (ES), by using disconfirmation theory as a theoretical basis. We review and extend previous models by including the needs/desires of users as a disconfirmation construct and by separating needs/desires and expectations of the ES from the information provided by the ES. We suggest that both el...

Most organizations today are required not only to operate effective business processes but they are required to accommodate for changing business conditions at an increasing rate. Today nearly every business relies on their Enterprise Systems (ES) for process integration and future generations of ES will increasingly be driven by business process models. Consequently business process modeling a...

exsheathing fluid (ef) and excretory-secretory products (es) of infective third-stage cultured larvae ofostertagia circumcincta were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sdspage). five and seven predominant proteins were found in the ef and es products, respectively. immunoblotting by sheep pre-infection serum did not react with any of the ef and es proteins, b...

Non-human primate (NHP) embryonic stem (ES) cells show unlimited proliferative capacities and a great potential to generate multiple cell lineages. These properties make them an ideal resource both for investigating early developmental processes and for assessing their therapeutic potential in numerous models of degenerative diseases. They share the same markers and the same properties with hum...
