Nobel Prize 2012 winning article on Stem Cells by Dr Yamanaka in magazine CELL (Volume 131 – Issue 5 – November 30, 2007 – Pages 861-872). The FBS used in the project was from Chile and Mexico, delivered by Japan BioSerum, working with Biowest for sourcing, processing and batch selection. Dr Yamanaka’s paper and poster can be found…
Modulation of inflammation-related genes of polysaccharides fractionated from mycelia of medicinal basidiomycete Antrodia camphorata
Authors Yen-ying WU, Chin-chu CHEN, Charng-cherng CHYAU, Sin-yi CHUNG, Yi-wen LIU AimTo investigate the effect of water soluble-ethanol precipitation fraction (AC-1) and alkaline extraction-isoelectric precipitation fraction (AC-2) from Antrodia camphorata (Polyporaceae, Aphyllophorales) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced gene activation in mouse macrophages. MethodsThe AC-1 and AC-2 fractions were prepared, and their effects on LPSinduced gene…
The study of the interaction of human mesenchymal stem cells and monocytes/macrophages with single-walled carbon nanotube films
Authors M. Kalbacova, M. Kalbac, L. Dunsch, H. Kataura, and U. Hempel The influence of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films on two different human cell types was investigated: primary mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and the monocytes/macrophages cell line THP-1, the focus being on the metabolic activity of these cells. The SWCNT were free of…
Effect of liposome encapsulation of tea catechins on their accumulation in basal cell carcinomas
AuthorsJia-You Fang, Woan-Ruoh Lee, Shing-Chuan Shen, Yen-Ling Huang Background()-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the main active polyphenol in green tea, is associated with antioxidant and anticancer activities. MethodsLiposomes containing egg phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol, or anionic surfactant in the presence of 15% ethanol were prepared. The physicochemical characteristics including vesicle size, zeta potential, drug entrapment, and drug…
