OBJECTIVES Based on studies of the extensive tropism of neural stem cells (NSCs) toward malignant brain tumor, we hypothesized that NSCs could also target head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and could be used as a cellular therapeutic delivery system. METHODS To apply this strategy to the treatment of HNSCC, we used a human NSC line expressing cytosine deaminase (HB1.F3-CD), an enzy...

Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) play key roles in growth factor-mediated intracellular signal transduction. In the present study using a constitutively active STAT5 mutant, we show that STAT5 has pleiotropic functions regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in an IL-3-dependent Ba/F3 cell line. The mutant STAT5 possessed constitutive tyrosine phos...

The effects of Cordyceps sinensis (CS) and its extracted fractions on steroidogenesis in MA-10 cells were determined. Different concentrations of CS and 3 fractions of CS (F1, a water-soluble polysaccharide; F2, a water-soluble protein; and F3, a poorly water-soluble polysaccharide and protein) were added to MA-10 mouse Leydig tumor cells with or without human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and ...

The meiotic behavior of pollen mother cells (PMCs) of the F2 and F3 progeny from Triticum timopheevii × hexaploid wild oat was investigated by cytological analysis and sequential C-banding-genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) in the present study. A cytological analysis showed that the chromosome numbers of the F2 and F3 progeny ranged from 28 to 41. A large number of univalents, lagging chromo...

We determine the number of nonzero coefficients (called the Hamming weight) in the polynomial representation of x in F3m = F3[x]/(f), where f ∈ F3[x] is an irreducible trinomial.

X-ray backscatter (XBS) and millimeter wave (mmW) whole body imaging are currently deployed worldwide to screen individuals at security screening checkpoints. The detection of impermissible objects carried by passengers via XBS and mmW screening shares many commonalities with medical radiological screening and diagnosis. A primary objective of this project is to leverage radiological imaging sc...

In a breeding effort to develop salt tolerant (ST) rice varieties by designed QTL pyramiding, large numbers of progenies derived from four crosses between salt- or drought- tolerant BC2F5 IR64 introgression lines, were subjected to severe salt stress, resulting in 422 ST plants. The progeny testing of the selected F3 lines under more severe salt stress resulted in identification of 16 promising...

Among the superior varieties can be obtained through breeding. The low level of farmer adoption improved resulting from breeding is partly due to different preferences farmers with development specific will successful a participatory program that involves breeders, and rice industry players in selection process for prospective new varieties. research objective was analyze select quantitative qu...

‘Epoch’ (Reg. no. CV-1195, PI 699379) hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was developed cooperatively by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and USDA-ARS released in February 2021 developing institutions. It selected from cross ‘Hitch’/NW03666. The pedigree of NW03666 is N94S097KS/NE93459. made 2009. F1 generation grown Yuma, AZ, 2010, F2 to F3 generations were advanced using ...
