Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies have great potential for treating many age-related diseases. When harvested from human bone marrow (hBM), these cells are relatively scarce and thus is is necessary for the cells to be expanded to achieve the necessary numbers needed for any therapeutic application and for many research applications. In order for the potential of MSCs to be unlocked, a strategy must be developed to expand these cells in the most efficient and effective way possible. Here we present a method to expand MSCs in a benchtop bioreactor with microcarriers and quantify the effect of the addition of …

Concussions are traumatic brain injuries that result from “brain shaking” that can occur during any situation that may transmit force to the head. Concussions are defined as a clinical syndrome characterized by immediate and transient post-traumatic impairment of neural functions which lead to a complex grouping of both psychological and physiological symptoms. As knowledge of the long-term implications of these injuries grows, concussions are becoming more of a major health concern worldwide. One subset of concussion classifications, sports-related concussions, is receiving an increasing amount of attention from scientists and health-care practitioners alike. It is estimated that more than 3.8 million …

It is well documented that females play a prominent role in the sexual selection behavior of guppies. Working within the lab in the BNR building, our experiment sought to determine whether the presence of multiple females would, as a result of being within a more competitive environment, affect the sexual selection behavior of female guppies. As we wanted our test to be within a larger environmental context, we decided to use wild type males. One tank had one male on either side with one female in the middle, while the other tank had one male on either side and 3 …
