Many researches on privacy preserving data mining have been done. Privacy preserving data mining can be achieved in various ways by use of randomization techniques, cryptographic algorithms, anonymization methods, etc. Further, in order to increase the security of data mining, secure multiparty computation (SMC) has been introduced. Most of works in SMC are developed on applying the model of SM...

SMC and MukB complexes consist of a central SMC dimer and two essential binding partners, ScpA and ScpB (MukE and MukF), and are crucial for correct chromosome compaction and segregation. The complexes form two bipolar assemblies on the chromosome, one in each cell half. Using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), we provide evidence that the SMC complex has high exchange rates. Th...

Migration and proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC) contribute to neointimal formation after arterial injury. However, the relation between migration and proliferation in these cells is obscure. To discriminate between migration and proliferation, we employed a migration assay of SMC at different phases of the cell cycle. Serum-deprived SMC were synchronized in different phases of the cell...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are mediators of cell communication during health and disease, and abundantly released by platelets upon activation or during ageing. Platelet EVs exert modulatory effects on immune and vascular cells. Platelet EVs may modulate the function of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC). Platelet EVs were isolated from platelet-rich plasma and incubated with SMC in order to ...

We have recently shown that all-trans retinoic acid (tRA) modulates arterial smooth muscle cell (SMC) morphologic features and biochemical composition in vitro. It has been proposed that different SMC phenotypes coexist in arteries, which may be retrieved in culture: hence, a differential action of tRA on distinct SMC subsets is conceivable. We have examined the effect of tRA on SMC proliferati...

SMC (sliding mode control) has been widely employed to compensate for the system uncertainty and disturbance. However, the chattering problem, caused by the discontinuous characteristic of switching function used in traditional SMC, greatly deteriorates the performance of SMC and has become the main limitation for its applications. Also, implementing the SMC in digital systems could make it eve...

Smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration from the tunica media to the intima is a key event in the development of atherosclerotic lesions and in restenosis after angioplasty. SMCs require not only migratory but also degradative abilities that enable them to migrate through extracellular matrix proteins, which surround and embed these cells. We used a collagen type I lattice as a coating on top of a p...

OBJECTIVE To obtain a pure population of smooth muscle cells (SMC) derived from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) and further assess their functions. METHODS A vector, expressing both puromycin resistance gene (puro(r) ) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene driven by smooth muscle 22α (SM22α) promoter, named pSM22α-puro(r)-IRES2-EGFP was constructed and used to transfect ESC. Tra...

Timed CPN model of SMC controller communication subsystem is described. SMC controller operates as central unit in a small distributed control-andmeasurement system from LUMEL Zielona Góra. SMC is programmed in ST language available in CPDev design environment. Implementation of the communication subsystem involves communication tasks created during the design stage and executed by SMC taking i...
