objective(s) articular cartilage tissue defects cannot be repaired by the proliferation of resident chondrocytes. autologous chondrocyte transplantation (act) is a relatively new therapeutic approach to cover full thickness articular cartilage defects by in vitro grown chondrocytes from the joint of a patient. therefore, we investigated the redifferentiation capability of human chondrocytes mai...

in this research 220 rhizobial bacteria were isolated from two lentil dryland farming flat plains of moghan and koohin. they were then tested in vivo as well as in vitro to make assurance of 184 purified strains of rhizobium leguminosarum biovar vicial (lentil). btb +yma culture media with different levels of salinity through nacl (10, 20,30,40,50ds/m) application were used in salinity toleranc...

Background: There is a considerable numbers of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in Iran which have an important role in rural life. The reproductive performance of buffalo is lower than cow. Co-culture with somatice cells improved the maturation rate of most of the species. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of bovine cumulus co-culture on post fertilization development of buffalo...

OBJECTIVES Cardiac atrial appendage stem cells (CASCs) have recently emerged as an attractive candidate for cardiac regeneration after myocardial infarction. As with other cardiac stem cells, CASCs have to be expanded ex vivo to obtain clinically relevant cell numbers. However, foetal calf serum (FCS), which is routinely used for cell culturing, is unsuitable for clinical purposes, and influenc...

[1] A new approach to regionalization of conceptual rainfall-runoff models is presented on the basis of ensemble modeling and model averaging. It is argued that in principle, this approach represents an improvement on the established procedure of regressing parameter values against numeric catchment descriptors. Using daily data from 127 catchments in the United Kingdom, alternative schemes for...
