We find that Ago1 protein is be enriched in the oocytes and also distributed in the cytoplasm of follicle cells. Using mitotic clonal analysis, we analyze multiple ago1 mutant alleles. Here, we find that the oocyte do not form in many mutant clones and they only have 8 nurse cells. These results indicate that the level of Ago1 affects the number of cystoblast divisions and oocyte determination.

This study investigated whether adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC), cultivated in the medium containing autologous serum, maintain immunomodulatory properties of MSC. Obtained cells were CD73, CD90 and CD105 positive but CD34 and CD45 negative. ADSC underwent in vitro differentiation into adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondroblasts. Immunomodulatory properties of ADSC were investigated by blast transformation reaction and significant suppression of T lymphocyte proliferation was induced in a dose d

Efforts to elucidate the mechanisms by which HBV infects hepatocytes and causes liver damage have been hampered by the strict virus host range and a lack of suitable cell culture and animal models of HBV infection/replication. The present study has established and elucidated a novel HBV infection/replication in vitro model system based on adipose-derived stem cells differentiated into human hepatocyte-like cell line.

Small molecular compounds (PR-619 and P22077) was assessed for their abilities to inhibit DUB function in crude extracts and in cells. Activity-based profiling combined with quantitative mass spectrometry revealed the inhibitory capacity of a broad range of DUBs by the PR-619, whereas P22077 showed specificity towards subsets of DUBs including USP7 in cells. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of activity-based quantitative proteomics to monitor inhibition of endogenous DUBs in vivo.

We present a microfluidic device that is able to trigger initial recruitment and subsequent aggregation of discoid platelets by mimicking the effects of pathological changes in blood vessel geometry.

This work shows how we can design a photocathode (photon electron converter) by using Monte Carlo simulation method

NF-Y TF is a heterotrimeric complex comprised of the three subunits: NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC. In plants each subunit is encoded by multiple genes with different mRNA expression profiles among plant organs, and in response to developmental and environmental stimuli.

This poster dealt with the impacts of climate on water-use and water-use efficiency of woodlands in the Sudanese Sahel region. Results are based on global circulation models (GCMs).

This poster showed estimated results of soil and woodland biomass C densities and modeled water-use of woodlands across the Sudanese gum belt region
