Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) are being used extensively in clinical trials.These trials require that ASCs are prepared using good manufacturing procedures (GMPs) and are safe for use in humans.The majority of clinical trials in which ASCs are expanded make use of fetal bovine serum (FBS).While FBS is used traditionally in the research setti
Hybrid vigour, or heterosis, ashy bines protein powder has been of tremendous importance in agriculture for the improvement of both crops and livestock.Notwithstanding large efforts to study the phenomenon of heterosis in the last decades, the identification of common molecular mechanisms underlying hybrid vigour remain rare.Here, we conducted a sy
The present work was carried out to study the population dynamics of the mealy plum aphid Hyalopterus pruni (Geoff.) and related parasitoids and predators on apricot trees, during the two successive seasons, 2003 and 2004, at Qalubia Gover-norate.The obtained data revealed that, the occurrence of H.pruni on apricot trees covered 5 months (from Febr
Balanced fear supports human rational decision-making and useful behavioral responses.In contrast, overwhelming, persistent, and unbalanced fear can paralyze the individual and result in heightened anxiety, lack of cognitive flexibility, fear-based public compliance and serious mental health issues.Psychobiotics research has established that a heal
Baboons from some families have a higher concentration of plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) on a chow diet and accumulate large HDL (HDL1) when challenged with a high cholesterol and high saturated fat (HCHF) diet.HDL1 from high HDL1 animals contained more (1.5-fold) cholesteryl ester than HDL (HDL2 + HDL3) from high or low HDL1 animals.HDL fr
