CRYOPRESERVED STEM CELLS INCUR DAMAGES DUE TO TERRESTRIAL COSMIC RAYS IMPAIRING THEIR INTEGRITY UPON LONG-TERM STORAGE

Cryopreserved Stem Cells Incur Damages Due To Terrestrial Cosmic Rays Impairing Their Integrity Upon Long-Term Storage

Stem cells have the capacity to ensure the renewal of tissues and organs.They could be used in the future for a wide range of therapeutic purposes and are preserved at liquid nitrogen temperature to prevent any chemical or biological activity up to several decades before their use.We show that the cryogenized cells accumulate Bridles damages coming

The red flour beetle as a model for bacterial oral infections.

Experimental infection systems are important for studying antagonistic interactions and coevolution between hosts and their pathogens.The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum and the spore-forming bacterial insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are widely used and tractable model organisms.However, they have not been employed yet as an effici

Premalignant Lesions in the Kidney

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most malignant urologic disease.Different lesions, such as dysplasia in the tubules adjacent to RCC, atypical hyperplasia in the cyst epithelium of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, and adenoma have been described for Collections a number of years as possible premalignant changes or precursor lesions of RCC.In two recent
