Anti-Gal and Anti-Non Gal Antibody Barriers in Xenotransplantation

The many studies on the immune mechanisms contributing to xenograft rejection have identified two types of antibodies (Abs) that form barriers to transplantation of xenografts into humans: 1. Natural and induced anti-Gal Abs, and 2. Induced anti-non gal Abs. The formidable barrier of anti-Gal Abs seems to have been removed by the generation of 1,3galactosyltransferase (1,3GT) knockout (KO) pi...

Expression Profile of Galectins (Gal-1, Gal-9, Gal-11 and Gal-13) in Human Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Different Culture Mediums

Robots are Agents , Too ! Gal

Recent years are seeing a worrisome decline in the activity of roboticists within the Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS) community. Robotics papers, that were abundant in the early Autonomous Agents conferences, have almost disappeared in recent editions of the International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. To some, this trend seems natural. After al...

Introduction to GAL Device Architectures

In 1985, Lattice Semiconductor introduced a new type of programmable logic device (PLD) that transformed the PLD market: the Generic Array Logic (GAL) device. The E2CMOS® technology of the GAL devices gave them significant advantages over their bipolar PAL counterparts; not only could GAL devices be programmed quickly and efficiently, but they could also be erased and reprogrammed. Today, Latti...

Activation of silent gal genes in the lac-gal regulon of Streptococcus thermophilus.

Streptococcus thermophilus strain CNRZ 302 is unable to ferment galactose, neither that generated intracellularly by lactose hydrolysis nor the free sugar. Nevertheless, sequence analysis and complementation studies with Escherichia coli demonstrated that strain CNRZ 302 contained structurally intact genes for the Leloir pathway enzymes. These were organized into an operon in the order galKTE, ...
