چکیده
RESULTS: 4 cm long full-thickness skin wounds were incised on the back of mice. The mice were locally treated by subcutaneous injections of CD24 derivatives from either bacterial or mammalian cell sources and compared to untreated mice. Wounds were histologically analyzed and scored, based on the degree of cellular invasion, granulation tissue formation, vascularity, and re-epithelialization. In the treated mice the wounds closed significantly faster then the untreated mice. No statistically significant difference was seen between bacterial and mammalian origin derivatives.

Abstract: Differential Osteogenic Signaling Pathways in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Collagen Glycosaminoglycan Scaffolds
INTRODUCTION: The goal of this proposal is to therapeutically reverse the damaging effects of radiotherapy on bone formation and healing to enable non-vascularized grafting in irradiated bone. Utilizing a rodent model of mandibular bone grafting, we quantified metrics of diminished graft take and bone healing in response to radiation treatment. Subsequently, we utilized implantable deferoxamine...
متن کاملChanging Roles of Matrix Metalloproteases and Their Inhibitors, TIMPs, During Tumor Progression and Angiogenesis
Inhibition of matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) has been shown in vivo to decrease metastasis and tumor-associated angiogenesis. Our laboratory is interested in understanding the role of these proteins at the pericellular microenvironment of tumor and endothelial cells. Secretion of MMPs by tumor cells enables the migration, invasion and metasta...
متن کاملSoil Remediation Using Nano Zero-valent Iron Synthesized by an Ultrasonic Method
A new method for the synthesis of nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) was developed in the present study. Ultrasonic waves, as a novel method, were used to synthesize the nanoparticles. The morphology and surface compositions of the particles were characterized by using FESEM, XRD, BET, and particle size analyzer. The synthesized nanoparticles were then utilized as a Fenton-like catalyst to degrade of...
متن کاملNovel nano cellulosic fibers for remediation of heavy metals from synthetic water
The increased surface area-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles, quantum size effects and the ability to tune surface properties through molecular modification make nanostructures ideal for environmental remediation. The present piece of work reports the preparation and characterization of nano cellulosic fibers (NCFs) with further polymeric reinforcement using vinyl sulphonic acid for the remediat...
