Background Signals between stem cells and stroma are important in establishing the stem cell niche. However, very little is known about the regulation of any mammalian stem cell niche as pure isolates of stem cells and their adjacent mesenchyme are not readily available. The prostate offers a unique model to study signals between stem cells and their adjacent stroma as in the embryonic prostate stem cell niche, the urogenital sinus mesenchyme is easily separated from the epithelial stem cells. Here we investigate the distinctive molecular signals of these two stem cell compartments in a mammalian system. Methodology/Principal Findings We isolated …

Swine Flu: A Preliminary Study Of The Planning And Policy Of Nepal To Combat The H1n1 Pandemic, Rojee Rajbanshi

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

The research was conducted to analyze the activities implemented by the Government of Nepal to deal with the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. The basis of the analysis was the National Avian Influenza Pandemic Preparedness and Response Plan (NAIPPRP). This plan was compared to World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations and the United States preparation plans. The H1N1 situation in Nepal, between 2009 April to 2010 March, was analyzed considering the countrys profile on the basis of data available online and document provided by WHO-Nepal. The first reported outbreak of H1N1 occurred in Mexico in early April 2009 and soon spread to the …

The Biogeochemistry Of Submerged Coastal Karst Features In West Central Florida, Keith Michael Garman

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

West Central Florida is a complex karst environment with numerous sinkholes, springs, and submerged cave systems. Many of these karst features are anchialine, located within the subterranean estuary where freshwater and saltwater mix. Water quality data and/or fauna data were obtained from twenty-one karst features and their associated cave systems. The anchialine karst environment of the study area has a wide range of habitats with measured salinities ranging from freshwater at <0.2 ppt to sulfidic, hypersaline water at 38.5 ppt and measured pH readings ranging from 6.39 in water impacted by sulfur oxidizing bacteria to 10.3 in an isolated room of a cave. Stygobitic crustaceans were identified in conduits extending beneath the Gulf of Mexico supporting the hypotheses that freshwater crustaceans could survive higher sea levels in freshwater conduits beneath saltwater. The fauna associated with the anchialine cave systems included Sabellidae and Polychaeta worms, hydroids, cnidarians and hydrobiid snails. Jewfish Sink, like other anaerobic marine basins that were submarine springs, has four zones: oxic zone, transition zone, upper anoxic zone and anoxic bottom water. The upper zones have seasonal water quality variations from winter cooling and sinking of surface water and changes in the microbial communities. Activity of sulfate reducing bacteria is carbon limited in the anoxic zones, where sulfate reduction is the major metabolic process, and primary production is phosphate limited in the oxic zones. Organic input from the Gulf of Mexico drives the bacterial anaerobic ecosystem, resulting in a “sulfide pump”, in which sulfide percolates upward removing oxygen from the overlying sediment.

New Mechanism For Notch Signaling To Endothelium At A Distance By Delta-Like 4 Incorporation Into Exosomes, H Sheldon, E Heikamp, H Turley, R Dragovic, Et Al

School of Biomedical Sciences

Notch signaling is an evolutionary conserved pathway that is mediated by cell-cell contact. It is involved in a variety of developmental processes and has an essential role in vascular development and angiogenesis. Delta-like 4 (Dll4) is a Notch ligand that is up-regulated during angiogenesis. It is expressed in endothelial cells and regulates the differentiation between tip cells and stalk cells of neovasculature. Here, we present evidence that Dll4 is incorporated into endothelial exosomes. It can also be incorporated into the exosomes of tumor cells that overexpress Dll4. These exosomes can transfer the Dll4 protein to other endothelial cells and incorporate …

Estimating Temporal Associations In Electrocorticographic (Ecog) Time Series With First Order Pruning, Haley Hedlin, Dana Boatman, Brian Caffo

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

Granger causality (GC) is a statistical technique used to estimate temporal associations in multivariate time series. Many applications and extensions of GC have been proposed since its formulation by Granger in 1969. Here we control for potentially mediating or confounding associations between time series in the context of event-related electrocorticographic (ECoG) time series. A pruning approach to remove spurious connections and simultaneously reduce the required number of estimations to fit the effective connectivity graph is proposed. Additionally, we consider the potential of adjusted GC applied to independent components as a method to explore temporal relationships between underlying source signals. Both …

Conflict Resolution And Institutional Arrangements For Flood Disaster Management On Indo Nepal Fringe: Focus On Kosi Basin, Nmp Verma

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Trans boundary conflict is one of the chronic riparian problems not only in India but also in South Asia. This has constrained agricultural development in the basin. It has also enhanced economic insecurity in the region of upstream and down stream. The vulnerability of the people has also gone up. The purpose of the present paper is to highlight riparian conflicts in Kosi basin of Indo-Nepal region. Since many conflicts become chronic and reduces the growth and diversification of agriculture of the economy, therefore, the paper focuses on characteristics of the basin, intensity of conflict, conflict minimization process, areas of …

The Expression Of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 And -2 In Olfactory Injury And Recovery, Stephen Bakos

Theses and Dissertations

The olfactory system has the remarkable capacity for neurogenesis following injury. However, the molecular mechanisms important for reinnervation of the olfactory bulb (OB) remain unknown. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are important components in many central nervous system (CNS) injury paradigms, yet remain unexplored in olfactory injury and recovery. To address the role of MMPs, the temporal expressions of MMP-9 and MMP-2 were examined in 3 olfactory injury models: nerve transection (NTx), methyl bromide gas (MeBr) exposure, and nerve transection with Teflon barrier (NTx-TB). Each injury model represents a different degree of olfactory injury and neuronal recovery. In NTx, sensory axons …
