Characterization of cryobiological responses in TF-1 cells using interrupted freezing procedures
Download2014-09-22
McGann, L. E., Elliott, J. A., Ross-Rodriguez, L. U.
Cryopreservation currently is the only method for long-term preservation of cellular viability and function for uses in cellular therapies. Characterizing the cryobiological response of a cell type is essential in the approach to designing and optimizing cryopreservation protocols. For cells used...

Yu, H., Jomha, N. M., Elliott, J. A., Al-Abbasi, K. K., McGann, L. E.
In previous research, we successfully cryopreserved intact human articular cartilage on its bone base with high chondrocyte viability using a vitrification protocol that entailed sequential exposure to several cryopreserving agents (CPAs) at lowering temperatures resulting in a high final...

Cryopreserved amniotic membrane as transplant allograft: viability and post-transplant outcome
Download2015-09-11
Hayward, K., Holovati, J.L. , Mokoena, T., Marquez-Curtis, L.A., Perepelkin, N.M.J., Elliott, J.A.W. , Bentley, M.J., McGann, L.E., Ross-Rodriguez, L.U.
Amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation is increasingly used in ophthalmological and dermatological surgeries to promote re-epithelialization and wound healing. Biologically active cells in the epithelial and stromal layers deliver growth factors and cytokines with anti-inflammatory,...

Large articular cartilage defects have proven difficult to treat and often result in osteoarthritis of the affected joint. Cryopreservation of articular cartilage can provide an increased supply of tissues for osteochondral allograft but cryoprotective agents are required; however, few studies...

Background Vitrification is a method of cryopreservation by which cells and tissues can be preserved at low temperatures using cryoprotective agents (CPAs) at high concentrations (typically ⩾6.0 M) to limit the harmful effects of ice crystals that can form during cooling processes. However, at...

Prasad, V., Laouar, L., Jomha, N. M., McGann, L. E., Fahmy, M. D., Almansoori, K. A., Elliott, J. A.
Vitrification of articular cartilage (AC) could enhance tissue availability but requires high concentrations of cyroprotective agents (CPAs). This study investigated relative injuries caused by commonly used CPAs. We hypothesized that the in situ chondrocyte dose–injury relationships of five...

Influence of Cold-Wire Tandem Submerged Arc Welding Parameters on Weld Geometry and Microhardness of Microalloyed Pipeline Steels
Download2016-01-01
Mohammadijoo, M., Henein, H., Collins, L., Ivey, D.G.
Tandem submerged arc welding with an additional cold wire (CWTSAW) is being developed for pipeline manufacturing to improve productivity in terms of deposition rate and travel speed of welding. An appropriate understanding of the welding conditions to guarantee requisite weld geometry, appearance...

Investigating cryoinjury using simulations and experiments: 1. TF-1 cells during two-step freezing (rapid cooling interrupted with a hold time)
Download2014-09-22
McGann, L. E., Ross-Rodriguez, L. U., Elliott, J. A.
There is significant interest in designing a cryopreservation protocol for hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) which does not rely on dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) as a cryoprotectant. Computer simulations that describe cellular osmotic responses during cooling and warming can be used to optimize the...

A 3.8 kb male specific fragment was observed following agarose gel etectrophoresis of porcine DNA digested with Sph I. DNA was recovered from this region of a gel using DE-81 paper and ligated to Sph I digested pUC18. Plasmids carrying male specific sequences were identified by their differential...
