Fabrication of TiO2 microspikes for highly efficient intracellular delivery by pulse laser-assisted photoporation.
The introduction of foreign cargo into living cells with high delivery efficiency and cell viability is a challenge in cell biology and biomedical research. Here, we demonstrate a nanosecond pulse laser-activated photoporation...
Pilot study to establish a prospective neonatal cohort
BACKGROUND: Genetic risk variants and preterm birth are early and potent risk factors for later neuropsychiatric disorders. To understand the interrelationships between these factors, a large-scale genetic study of very preterm...

Contribution of de novo and inherited rare CNVs to very preterm birth.
Hilary S Wong, Megan Wadon, Alexandra Evans, George Kirov, Neena Modi, Michael C O'Donovan, Anita Thapar
Feb 14, 2020
BACKGROUND: The genomic contribution to adverse health sequelae in babies born very preterm (<32 weeks' gestation) is unknown. We conducted an investigation of rare CNVs in infants born very preterm as part of a study to...
New models to study vascular mural cell embryonic origin
A key question in vascular biology is how the diversity of origin of vascular mural cells, namely smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and pericytes influences vessel properties, in particular the regional propensity to vascular diseases....
Englishization in offshore call centers
The spread and use of English as the lingua franca of international business (IB)-"corporate Englishization"-has received increasing scholarly attention in recent years but the focus has mostly been on the communication...
Aortic “Disease-in-a-Dish”
Thoracic aortic diseases, whether sporadic or due to a genetic disorder such as Marfan syndrome, lack effective medical therapies, with limited translation of treatments that are highly successful in mouse models into the...

Embryonic origins of human vascular smooth muscle cells
Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) arise from multiple origins during development, raising the possibility that differences in embryological origins between SMCs could contribute to site-specific localization of vascular...
Finite element analysis of the microstructure of AlN-TiN composites
Finite element modelling (FEM) is performed on AlN-TiN composites. The structure-property relationships are studied for 5 and 10vol.% TiN composites in view of thermal and thermo-mechanical properties. Thermal stresses are...
Self-Aware Contextual Behavior Analysis for Service Quality Assurance Over Social Networks
Social media allows people to share their ideologue through an efficient channel of communication. The social dialogues carry sentiment in expression regarding a particular social profile, trend, or topic. In our research, we...

Investigating Host and Parasitic Plant Interaction by Tissue-Specific Gene Analyses on Tomato and Cuscuta campestris Interface at Three Haustorial Developmental Stages.
Parasitic weeds cause billions of dollars in agricultural losses each year worldwide. Cuscuta campestris (C. campestris), one of the most widespread and destructive parasitic plants in the United States, severely reduces yield...

Generation of human vascular smooth muscle subtypes provides insight into embryological origin-dependent disease susceptibility.
Christine Cheung, Andreia S Bernardo, Matthew WB Trotter, Roger A Pedersen, Sanjay Sinha
Jan 23, 2018
Heterogeneity of embryological origins is a hallmark of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and may influence the development of vascular disease. Differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into developmental...

Myocardin overexpression is sufficient for promoting the development of a mature smooth muscle cell-like phenotype from human embryonic stem cells.
BACKGROUND: Myocardin is thought to have a key role in smooth muscle cell (SMC) development by acting on CArG-dependent genes. However, it is unclear whether myocardin-induced SMC maturation and increases in agonist-induced...
