DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN MAST CELLS FROM HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS WITHIN A 3D COLLAGEN MATRIX: EFFECT OF STEM CELL MEDIA ON MAST CELL GENERATION

Development of Human Mast Cells from Hematopoietic Stem Cells within a 3D Collagen Matrix: Effect of Stem Cell Media on Mast Cell Generation

Mast cells (MCs) arise from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that mature within vascularized tissues.Fibroblasts and endothelial cells (ECs) play a role in the maturation of HSCs in the tissues.Due to difficulties in isolating MCs German Martingale from tissues, large numbers of committed MC precursors can be generated in 2D culture systems with the

Cyto-architectural Alterations in the Corpuscles of Stannius of Stinging Catfish Heteropneustes fossilis after Exposure to a Botanical Pesticide (Nerium indicum)

Background: This investigation describes the cyto-architectural alterations observed in the corpuscles of Stannius of stinging catfish Heteropneustes fossilis after treatment with a botanical pesticide Nerium indicum.Methods: Heteropneustes fossilis were subjected to 11.27 and 2.81 mg/L of Nerium indicum leaf extract over short- and long-term expos

A simplified technique to fabricate tissue bolus device to manage dose distribution in maxillectomy patient with orbital exenteration

The primary goal of radiotherapy is to deliver maximum dose to tumor but minimal dose to normal tissues.Irregular surfaces along with cavities sometimes make it difficult to deliver a Washers homogenous radiation dose.Data incorporated in the delivery of prescribed dose are measured from the dosimetric system which are homogenous in nature, hence t

A revision of the hover fly genus Amphoterus Bezzi, 1915 (Diptera, Syrphidae) with the description of one new species

Amphoterus Bezzi, 1915 is a genus of rarely collected Afrotropical hover flies (Diptera, Syrphidae).We present the first description of the female of A.braunsi van Doesburg, 1956, redescribe the Washers males of A.braunsi van Doesburg, 1956 and A.cribratus Bezzi, 1915, and describe a new species, A.londti sp.nov.We also provide the first colour pho
