Differences in the neovascular potential of thymus versus subcutaneous adipose-derived stem cells from patients with myocardial ischemia. by Oliva-Olivera, Wilfredo

“…Our aim was to examine the neovascular potential under hypoxic conditions of ASCs-derived from thymic (thymASCs) and subcutaneous (subASCs) AT from 39 subjects with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and of different ages who were undergoing coronary bypass surgery (CBS). We confirmed a significant decrease in the percentage of CD34+ CD31- CD45- subASCs in the cell yield of subASCs and in the survival of cultured endothelial cells in the medium conditioned by the hypox-subASCs with increasing patient age, which was not observed in thymASCs. …”

Organic materials amendments can improve NPK availability and maize growth by reducing heavy metals stress in calcareous soil by Saleem, A.

“…Incremental rates of each amendment resulted in greater immobilization of bioavailable Cd, Pb, and Cr in the soil, leading to reduced bioaccumulation in roots and decreased translocation to shoots. The most pronounced effects were observed with 2% BC, which exhibited higher immobilization indexes for Cd (48%), Pb (53%), and Cr (51%). …”
