An ideal conductor electrode in contact with a semi-infinite two-dimensional twocomponent plasma in an external potential is considered. The model is mapped onto an integrable sine-Gordon theory with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The information gained from the mapping provides an explicit form of the surface tension in the plasma-stability regime.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provide a novel option in cellular therapy and tissue engineering. Recent studies indicated that it is possible to obtain MSCs from peripheral blood by attachment ability to plastic surface. To evaluate adherent cells derived from peripheral blood, their expression profile and surface markers were investigated. The results of RT-PCR indicated that these cells expre...

context: in recent years, nanotechnology has opened up several new avenues of extraordinary biomedical potential by modulating metals into their nanosize leading to significant improvement in their chemical, physical and optical properties. introduction: the advanced fabrication techniques have been exploited to modify nanostructured materials. the functionalized nanoscaled fibers display vario...

BACKGROUND The anchoring motif is one of the most important aspects of cell surface display as well as efficient and stable display of target proteins. Thus, there is currently a need for the identification and isolation of novel anchoring motifs. RESULTS A system for the display of recombinant proteins on the surface of Escherichia coli was developed using the Bacillus anthracis exosporal pr...
