objective(s):  titanium oxides are known to be appropriate hemocompatible materials which are suggested as coatings for blood-contacting devices. little is known about the influence of nanometric crystal structure, layer thickness, and semiconducting characteristics of tio2 on blood hemostasis.   materials and methods: having used sol-gel dip coating method in this study, tio2 thin films were d...

many cellular damages either in normal or cancerous tissues are the outcome of molecular events affected by ionizing radiation. t‑cells are the most important among immune system agents and are used for biological radiation dose measurement in recommended standard methods. the herbs with immune modulating properties may be useful to reduce the risk of the damages and subsequently the diseases. ...

Time resolved measurements of the nuclear volume response of human peripheral T-lymphocytes, under aniosmotic conditions, are presented. In the experiments slit scanning FlowCytometry methods were used. We propose an extension to the standard solid viscoelastic model to interpret the observed dynamical behavior of the nucleus. It is shown that experimental and theoretical evidence indicates a p...

Antibodies The following monoclonal antibodies (Abs) were used for flowcytometry and cell sorting: anti-c-Kit (2B8, BD Biosciences), -Sca-1 (E13-161.7, BD Biosciences), -CD4 (L3T4, BD Biosciences), -CD8 (53-6.72, BD Biosciences), -B220 (RA3-6B2, BD Biosciences), -TER-119, -Gr-1 (RB6-8C5, BD Biosciences), -Mac-1 (M1/70, BD Biosciences), -CD34 (RAM34, eBioscience), -CD31 (MEC13.3, BD Biosciences)...

Objective: The effects of 6-MSITC on cell cycle progression were investigated in quiescent mouse epidermal JB6 cells.
 Background: 6-Methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate (6-MSITC) derived from wasabi (Wasabia japonica) has been reported to prevent tumor development vivo.
 Material and methods: Treatment with growth factor (EGF) cells, which serum-starved for 36 h, promoted the G0/G1 pha...
