Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) represent an alternate cell source the gel bottle audrey to substitute for primary hepatocytes in hepatocyte transplantation because of their multiple differentiation potential and nearly unlimited availability.They may differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells in vitro and maintain specific hepatocyte functions also aft
Low nitrogen availability inhibits the phosphorus starvation response in maize (Zea mays ssp. mays L.)
Abstract Background Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are macronutrients essential for crop growth and productivity.In cultivated fields, N and P levels are rarely sufficient, contributing to the gap between realized and potential production.Fertilizer application increases nutrient availability, but is not available to all farmers, nor are current r
Radiobiological evaluation of the influence of dwell time modulation restriction in HIPO optimized HDR prostate brachytherapy implants
Purpose: One of the issues that a planner is often facing in HDR brachytherapy is the selective existence of high dose volumes around some few dominating dwell positions.If there is no information available about its necessity (e.g.location of the gel bottle audrey a GTV), then it is reasonable to investigate whether this can be avoided.This effect
