Proliferation and differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) into osteoblastic lineage are passage dependent by Faour, Wissam

“…Calcium deposition and alkaline phosphatase activity were the highest at P2 but completely abrogated at P4. Increased passage number impaired cell growth; P2 cultures exhibited exponential growth, while cells at P4 and P6 showed near linear growth with cell population doubling times increased from 3.2 at P2 to 4.8 d at P6. …”

Numerical analysis of spatial distribution of carbon in methane dry reforming over supported nickel catalyst in a packed bed reactor by Ebrahimi, Parisa

“…The total carbon deposited was estimated to be around 18 g after 10,000 s of Time on Stream (TOS) at 650 °C. As the temperature increased, the total carbon deposition decreased, although this reduction became negligible beyond 850 °C. …”

How does varying the number of personas affect user perceptions and behavior? Challenging the ‘small personas’ hypothesis! by Joni Salminen (7434770)

“…Our study results from eye-tracking and survey data suggest that when using interactive persona systems, the number of personas can be increased from the conventionally suggested ‘less than ten’, without significant negative effects on user perceptions or task performance, and with the positive effects of increasing engagement with the personas, having a more diverse representation of the end-user population, as well as users accessing personas from more varied demographic groups for a design task. …”

PGE2 induces COX-2 expression in podocytes via the EP4 receptor through a PKA-independent mechanism by Faour, Wissam

“…In the present study we further delineate the signaling pathways regulating podocyte COX-2 induction. Time course experiments carried out in conditionally-immortalized mouse podocytes revealed that PGE2 transiently increased phosphorylated p38 MAPK levels at 10 min, and induced COX-2 protein expression at 4 h. siRNA-mediated knockdown of EP4 receptor expression, unlike treatment with the EP1 receptor antagonist SC 19220, completely abrogated PGE2-induced p38 phosphorylation and COX-2 upregulation suggesting the involvement of the EP4 receptor subtype. …”
