objective: citrinin is a mycotoxin produced by several species of the genera aspergillus and penicillium and occurs mainly in food products and animal feed. some scientific reports show a link between citrinin and nephrotoxic and possibly a carcinogenic effect for humans. methods: samples collected by settling plates,in northern iran and pure culture isolation performed till the toxin measureme...

Despite the compelling clinical need to regenerate damaged tissues/organs, impressive advances in the field of tissue engineering have yet to result in viable engineered tissue products with widespread therapeutic adoption. Although bioreactor systems have been proposed as a key factor in the manufacture of standardized and cost-effective engineered products, this concept appears slow to be emb...

Immunotherapeutics include drugs and biologics that render therapeutic benefit by harnessing the power of the immune system. The promise of immune-mediated therapies is target specificity with a consequent reduction in off-target side effects. Recent scientific advances have led to clinical trials of both active and passive immunotherapeutic products that have the potential to convert life-endi...

We report on genetic identification of 'whale meat' purchased in sushi restaurants in Los Angeles, CA (USA) in October 2009 and in Seoul, South Korea in June and September 2009. Phylogenetic analyses of mtDNA cytochrome b sequences confirmed that the products included three species of whale currently killed in the controversial scientific whaling programme of Japan, but which are protected from...

The evaluation of quality, safety, and efficacy of medicinal products by the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA) via the centralized procedure is the only available regulatory procedure for obtaining marketing authorization for gene therapy (GT) medicinal products in the European Union. The responsibility for the authorization of clinical trials remains with the national competent autho...

Access to Earth Observation products remains difficult for end users in most domains. Although various search engines have been developed, they neither satisfy the needs of scientific communities for advanced search of EO products, nor they use standardized vocabularies reusable from other organizations. To address this, we present the Prod-Trees platform, a semantically-enabled search engine f...

This study analyzes six slags excavated from the iron making site in Gogi-ri, Namwon, Korea to understand characteristics of ruins, and confirm process performed at time. The chemical components by-products Gogi-ri were analyzed, findings indicate total Fe contents between 23.24% 37.56%, which are lower than typical content found ancient processes. deoxidation agent ranged 43.88% 58.13%, higher...
