We have examined the effect of short-term and long-term growth in the absence of estrogens on the proliferation rate and estrogen and antiestrogen responsiveness of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. The removal of phenol red, the pH indicator in tissue culture medium that is weakly estrogenic (Y. Berthois et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 83:2496-2500, 1986), immediately slows the cell prolife...

objective(s): study of non-coding rnas is considerable to elucidate principal biological questions or design new therapeutic strategies. mirnas are a group of non-coding rnas that their functions in pi3k/akt signaling and apoptosis pathways after t cell activation is not entirely clear. herein, mirnas expression and their putative targets in the mentioned pathways were studied in the activated ...

This paper presents multifactor Keynesian models of the long-term interest rate. In recent years, there have been a proliferation empirical studies based on approach to rate modelling. These evince connection between and short-term However, standard in quantitative finance not yet incorporated Keynes’s insights about dynamics. are introduced two different illustrate how relates rate, after cont...

We study the impact of the decrease in the neural population on the neuronal firing rate. We propose a cellular automaton model from cancerous growth in a brain tissue and the death of neurons due absence of cells that help support to neurons. We use this model to study how the firing rate changes when the neuronal networks is under different external stimuli and the cancerous cells have differ...

Alginate, a non-toxic polysaccharide isolated from brown algae, is a widely used 3-dimensional (3D) porous scaffold for the granulosa cell and follicle encapsulation. However, impurities in commercial alginate can lead to alginate biocompatibility reduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro behavior of the granulosa cells seeded on the purified alginate in varying concent...

Caudal regeneration in Nereis diversicolor is that rapid proliferation of segments which occurs after loss of part of the posterior of the body and the reformation of the pygidium. The rate of segment proliferation is highest during the production of the first new segments. Thereafter, the rate declines rapidly with each passing week, though if the regenerated segments are amputated, rapid prol...
