Background: Gingival fibroblasts (GFs) that exhibit characteristics similar to adult stem cells are also known as gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs). These cells can be isolated using either tissue explants or enzymatic digestion, however it is unknown whether the isolation method influences...

Touch is one of the most important sensory inputs during the performance of surgery. However, the literature on kinesthetic and tactile feedback—both called haptic—in surgical training remain rudimentary. This rudimentary knowledge is partially due to the fact that haptic feedback is difficult to...

Manganese Porphyrin Protects Neonatal Pig Islets against Oxidative Stress and Enhances their Function in Diabetic Mice
DownloadSpring 2015
Significant numbers of pancreatic islets are lost during isolation and early transplantation period due to oxidative stress. Neonatal pig islets are being considered to overcome the shortage of human donors. Manganese (III) tetrakis (N-ethylpyridium-2-yl) porphyrin (MnP) is a synthetic...
