OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to assess the chondrogenic potential and the MR signal effects of GadofluorineM-Cy labeled matrix associated stem cell implants (MASI) in pig knee specimen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were labeled with the micelle-based contrast agent GadofluorineM-Cy. Ferucarbotran-labeled hMSCs, non-labeled hMSCs and scaffold only serve...

We construct a small regular cellular decomposition of the Fulton MacPherson operad F M 2 $FM_2$ that is compatible with composition. The cells are indexed by trees edges two colors and vertices labeled cacti operad. compute generating functions counting algebraic.

Determining the trajectories of cells and their lineages or ancestries in live-cell experiments are fundamental to understanding how behave divide. This paper proposes novel online algorithms for jointly tracking resolving an unknown time-varying number from time-lapse video data. Our approach involves modeling cell ensemble as a labeled random finite set with labels representing identities lin...

  Purpose: To recognize affective factors in delivering X-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   Materials and Methods: Since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). X-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   Results: Rad...

Introduction: Nowadays, cell therapy is the most advanced treatment of peripheral nerve injury. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of transplantation of hair follicle stem cells on the regeneration of the sciatic nerve injury in rats. Methods: The bulge region of the rat whisker was isolated and cultured. Morphological and biological features of the cultured bulge cells were ob...
