release during PIPAAm collapse. This burst is analogous to drug release from collapsing PIPAAm gel disks undergoing analogous thermal treatment. Similarly, just after each temperature return to 30 °C, small fluores-cent spikes are observed. In contrast, oscillatory fluorescent changes have been observed using 0.5 min cyclic intervals (shown in Fig. 3c) indicating subtle PIPAAm swell–shrink tran...

Indoor fungi growth is an increasing home health problem as our homes are more tightly sealed. One thing that limits durability of the antifungal agents is the scarcity of reactive sites on many surfaces to attach these agents. In order to increase graft yield of photosensitizers to the fabrics, poly(acrylic acid-co-styrene sulfonic acid-co-vinyl benzyl rose bengal or phloxine B) were polymeriz...

Since bone marrow has been shown to contain osteoprogenitor cells, an experiment was devised to test its effects when injected percutaneously into osteotomies sites in rabbit radii. In this experimental study, the osteogenicity and it's effect on early bone repair of bone marrow grafts were investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine whether bone marrow grafted percutaneously led t...

Enrichment of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) from the mammalian adult testis faces several limitations owing to their relatively low numbers among many types of advanced germ cells and somatic cells. The aim of the present study was to improve the isolation efficiency of SSCs using a simple tissue grafting method to eliminate the existing advanced germ cells. Sliced testis parenchyma obtained...

Leaf senescence varies greatly among cotton cultivars, possibly due to their root characteristics, particularly the root-sourced cytokinins and abscisic acid (ABA). Early-senescence (K1) and late-senescence (K2) lines, were reciprocally or self-grafted to examine the effects of rootstock on leaf senescence and endogenous hormones in both leaves and xylem sap. The results indicate that the graft...

We show that an instanton with high charge can provoke the creation of extra curvature on space holds it. Geometrically, this corresponds to a new surgery operation, which we name grafting. Curvature around sphere increases by grafting when decays.

Growing grafted vegetables was first launched in Japan and Korea in the late 1920s by grafting watermelons to gourd rootstock (Ashita, 1927; Yamakawa, 1983). After the first trial, the cultivated area of grafted vegetables, as well as the kinds of vegetables being grafted, has been consistently increased. At present, most of the watermelons [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai], Oriental...

A modeling framework is developed to describe the structure and properties of fluid interfaces stabilized with grafted nanoparticles. The framework is demonstrated on nanoparticles functionalized with polymers of various grafting architectures; we find that the conformation of the grafted chains plays an important role in the interfacial tension.

BACKGROUND A major concern in ovarian transplants is substantial follicle loss during the initial period of hypoxia. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) have been employed to improve angiogenesis when injected into ischemic tissue. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) therapy in the freshly grafted ovaries 30 days after injection. METHO...
