The system and method for used capsules (11), such as coffee capsules, with a lid and a capsule body, comprises at least cutting means (17) to cut the lid from the body, capturing means to extract the cut lid from the body, compacting means (12, 14) to com ...
Bone marrow is currently being considered as an alternative site for pancreatic islet transplantation. The goal of the present review is to report preclinical and clinical studies taking advantage of this new implantation site. Preclinical studies in mice ...
This dissertation examines the links between architecture and literature through the work of English author/mathematician/geometrician Lewis Carroll/Charles L. Dodgson. The premise is that throughout Carroll’s work, questions concerning the position of the ...
Background. Fas ligand (FasL) mediates apoptosis of susceptible Fas-expressing lymphocytes, and may contribute to the maintenance of peripheral tolerance. In transplantation models, however, artificial expres- sion of FasL on cellular as well as islet tran ...
The controlled release of small molecular modulators of the immune response from hydrogel microspheres (MS) used for cell immobilization is an attractive approach to reduce pericapsular fibrotic overgrowth (PFO) after transplantation. Ketoprofen is a well- ...
Bone marrow was recently proposed as an alternative and potentially immune-privileged site for pancreatic islet transplantation. The aim of the present study was to assess the survival and rejection mechanisms of free and encapsulated xenogeneic islets tra ...
Allogeneic MHC-incompatible organ or cell grafts are usually promptly rejected by immunocompetent hosts. Here we tested allogeneic beta-islet cell graft acceptance by immune or naive C57BL/6 mice rendered diabetic with streptozotocin (STZ). Fully MHC-misma ...
1 The present work examined the effects of the subtype 2 of angiotensin II (AT(2)) receptors on the pressure-natriuresis using a new peptide agonist, and the possible involvement of cyclic guanosine 3', 5' monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in these effects. 2 In ...
betaTC-tet cells are conditionally immortalized pancreatic beta cells which can confer long-term correction of hyperglycemia when transplanted in syngeneic streptozocin diabetic mice. The use of these cells for control of type I diabetes in humans will req ...
The distribution of VIP binding sites in rat kidney and adrenal gland has been examined by light microscopic autoradiography. A fully characterized mono-iodinated molecular form of VIP (M-125-I-VIP) which maintains the biological activity of the native pep ...
