Recent Advances in the Analysis of PCBs and Pesticides in Human Adipose Tissue
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to their bioaccumulative and persistent nature, determination of PCB and organochlorine pesticide levels in human adipose tissue can be a useful biological indicator of exposure. The analytical methods previously used are relatively tedious, labor intensive and not readily amenable to automation. We have combined the use of sweep codistillation cleanup [1] and high resolution gas chromatography with automated on-column injection to efficiently process and quantitate levels of these compounds in fat samples.

Advances in adipose-derived stem cells and cartilage regeneration: review article
The cartilage is a connective tissue that, due to the strength of its extracellular matrix, allows the tissue to tolerate mechanical stress without undergoing permanent deformation. It is responsible for the support of soft tissues and due to its smooth surface and elasticity, gives the joints the ability to slip and bend. excessive weight, excessive activity, or trauma can all cause cartilage ...

Human adipose tissue represents an abundant, practical and appealing source of donor tissue for autologous cell replacement. Recent findings have shown that stem cells within the stromalvascular fraction of adipose tissue display a multilineage developmental potential. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells can be differentiated towards adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic,myogenic and neurogenic li...

Objective(s): In some previous studies, the extract of embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to reprogram somatic cells to more dedifferentiated state. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mouse ESCs extract on the expression of some pluripotency markers in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods: Human A...
