In a previous large scale screen for differentially expressed genes in pancreatic cancer, we
identified a gene highly overexpressed in cancer encoding a novel protein with four K …

The human KOC gene which is highly expressed in cancer shows typical structural features
of an RNA binding protein. We analyzed the temporal and spatial expression pattern of KOC …

We report the characterization of a novel serine protease of the chymotrypsin family, recently
isolated by cDNA-representational difference analysis, as a gene overexpressed in …

Nowadays cell-based therapy is rarely in clinical practice because of the limited availability
of appropriate cells. To apply cells therapeutically, they must not cause any immune …

Cell based therapy promises the treatment of many diseases like diabetes mellitus,
Parkinson disease or stroke. Microencapsulation of the cells protects them against host-vs …

Purpose:“Naked” human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are neuro-protective in
experimental brain injury (TBI). In a controlled cortical impact (CCI) rat model, we …

High molecular weight alginate beads with 59% mannuronic acid content or 68% guluronic
acid were prepared using a droplet generator and crosslinked in calcium chloride. The …

In a recent study designed to identify chromosomal aberrations in pancreatic cancer tissues
using comparative genomic hybridization, a high copy number amplification on 6q was …

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) are a promising cell source for several applications
of regenerative medicine. The cells employed are either autologous or allogenic; by using …

Objective—To test the therapeutic activity of perivascular transplantation of encapsulated
human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in an immunocompetent mouse model of limb …
