Sepsis Models in Experimental Animals

Sepsis develops as a common inflammatory response to various infections. It runs with the picture of a complex heterogeneous syndrome which often leads to the development of multiple organ dysfunctions and causes the death of millions of people worldwide. For various reasons, detailed research of sepsis in humans is difficult to conduct; therefore, a lot of efforts have been made to model it. P...

Domestic animals as models for biomedical research.

Domestic animals are unique models for biomedical research due to their long history (thousands of years) of strong phenotypic selection. This process has enriched for novel mutations that have contributed to phenotype evolution in domestic animals. The characterization of such mutations provides insights in gene function and biological mechanisms. This review summarizes genetic dissection of a...

Scientific Report on Project Implementation

Some of the papers produced in this stage were written by international collaboration with Barnabas Bede, from DigiPen Institute of Technology, Department of Mathematics, Redmond, WA, USA, Marek Gagolewski and Przemyslaw Grzegorzewska from Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Technical University of Warsaw, Luciano Ste...

Project-based Learning for Experimental Design Research

Project-based learning has been illustrated to be an effective means of teaching students many of the "real-world" issues that arise during the course of engineering projects. However, project-based learning tends to have a product-centric focus. This paper describes an experimental run of a project-based learning program with a researchoriented focus, named "X-PBL." In this project, four colle...
