On this basis, endometrial stem cells (EnSCs), characterized by higher abilities for proliferation, differentiation, fast angiogenesis during menstruation and immune tolerance for embryo during pregnancy, have been considered as a valuable source of stem cells (Gargett, Chan et al. 2007; Meng, Ichim et al. 2007). Several researches have demonstrated presence of highly pleuripotent mesenchymal s...

Regarding our article on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with increased Alzheimer’s disease risk, Bowen et al, Froehner and Wirth, Leow et al, and Brady et al highlight a number of significant considerations that will prove important in the design of future studies that investigate the association of ADT and Alzheimer’s disease. We agree with Bowen et al and Leow et al tha...

Paralysis after stroke or neurotrauma is among the leading causes of long term disability in adults. The development of brain-computer-interface (BCI) systems that allow online classification of electric or metabolic brain activity and their translation into control signals of external devices or computers have led to two major approaches in tackling the problem of paralysis. While assistive BC...

increasingly valuable, as they allow rapid generation of transgenic animals or targeted knockdowns and investigation of the systemic changes that result from targeted manipulation of neuronal activity (Kasuya et al., 2009; Tessier and Broadie, 2009; White and Peabody, 2009; Hirata et al., 2010). Molecular systems for monitoring ion flux across the neuronal plasma membrane as well as high-throug...

Habitual consumption of a high glycemic index (GI) food causes postprandial increases in the blood glucose level, resulting in high insulin demand (Jenkins et al., 2002). The GI and GL, which considers both the quantity and quality of carbohydrate intake, have been shown to be related to chronic disease and increased risk of cancer (Patel et al., 2007; Jiao et al., 2009; Bao et al., 2010), incl...

Plant identification is very important in control design. The relay method belongs among special kinds of experimental frequency response identification. It was originally used for plant identification by Rotach (Rotač, 1964) and lately also for controller autotuning, see reference (Åstrőm & Wittenmark, 1989; Åstrőm, 1993; Åstrőm & Hägglund, 1995; Bi et al., 1997; Hang et al., 1993; Lu et al., ...
