MESENCHYMAL STROMAL CELLS DERIVED EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES AMELIORATE ACUTE RENAL ISCHEMIA REPERFUSION INJURY BY INHIBITION OF MITOCHONDRIAL FISSION THROUGH MIR-30

Background.The immoderation of mitochondrial fission is one of the main contributors in ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived extracellular vesicles have been regarded as a potential therapy method.Here, we hypothesized that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human Wharton Jelly mesenchymal stromal ce

Steven B.Slater and Randall D.Baxterdoi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2014v12iss3art1The Delta Smelt, an endangered fish, has suffered a long-term decline in abundance, believed to result from, in part, to changes in the pelagic food web of the upper San Francisco Estuary.To investigate the current role of food as a factor in Delta Smelt well-b

Abstract Background This study assessed lay perceptions of issues related to predictive genetic testing for multifactorial diseases.These perceived issues may differ from the "classic" issues, e.g.autonomy, discrimination, and psychological harm that are considered important in predictive testing for monogenic disorders.In this study, type 2 diabet

Background: While the proliferation of social media is hailed for increasing corporate business networking and competitiveness, this claim has not been sufficiently tested in tourism small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) in African emerging economies where traditional communication modes tend to dominate.Setting: This study investigates the u
