Mackey functors and sharpness for fusion systems
(International Press of Boston, 2015-01-01)We develop the fundamentals of Mackey functors in the setup of fusion systems including an acyclicity condition as well as a parametrization and an explicit description of simple Mackey functors. Using this machinery we ... -
Macromolecular crowding meets oxygen tension in human mesenchymal stem cell culture - a step closer to physiologically relevant in vitro organogenesis
(Springer Nature, 2016-08-01)Modular tissue engineering is based on the cells' innate ability to create bottom-up supramolecular assemblies with efficiency and efficacy still unmatched by man-made devices. Although the regenerative potential of such ... -
Macromolecularly crowded in vitro microenvironments accelerate the production of extracellular matrix-rich supramolecular assemblies
(Springer Nature, 2015-03-04)Therapeutic strategies based on the principles of tissue engineering by self-assembly put forward the notion that functional regeneration can be achieved by utilising the inherent capacity of cells to create highly ... -
Macrophages behavior on different nipam-based thermoresponsive substrates
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-09-25) -
Macrophages facilitate electrical conduction in the heart
(Elsevier BV, 2017-04-01)Organ-specific functions of tissue-resident macrophages in the steady-state heart are unknown. Here, we show that cardiac macrophages facilitate electrical conduction through the distal atrioventricular node, where conducting ... -
Magnetic beads, a particularly effective novel method for extraction of ngs-ready dna from macroalgae
(Elsevier BV, 2018-06-01)Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies allow for the generation of robust information on the genetic diversity of organisms at the individual, species and higher taxon levels. Indeed, the number of single nucleotide ... -
Magnetic core-shell nanoparticles for drug delivery by nebulization
(Springer Nature, 2013-01-01)Background: Aerosolized therapeutics hold great potential for effective treatment of various diseases including lung cancer. In this context, there is an urgent need to develop novel nanocarriers suitable for drug delivery ... -
Magnetism in metal–organic capsules
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2010-01-01)Nickel and cobalt seamed metal-organic capsules have been isolated and studied using structural, magnetic and computational approaches. Antiferromagnetic exchange in the Ni capsule results from coordination environments ... -
Magnetospherically driven optical and radio aurorae at the end of the stellar main sequence
(Springer Nature, 2015-07-30)Aurorae are detected from all the magnetized planets in our Solar System, including Earth(1). They are powered by magnetospheric current systems that lead to the precipitation of energetic electrons into the high-latitude ... -
Main results of the ouabain and adducin for specific intervention on sodium in hypertension trial (oasis-ht): a randomized placebo-controlled phase-2 dose-finding study of rostafuroxin
(Springer Nature, 2011-01-14)Background: The Ouabain and Adducin for Specific Intervention on Sodium in Hypertension (OASIS-HT) Trial was a phase-2 dose-finding study of rostafuroxin, a digitoxygenin derivative, which selectively antagonizes the effects ... -
Maintaining breast cancer specimen integrity and individual or simultaneous extraction of quality dna, rna, and proteins from allprotect-stabilized and nonstabilized tissue samples
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2011-12-01)The Saint James's Hospital Biobank was established in 2008, to develop a high-quality breast tissue BioResource, as a part of the breast cancer clinical care pathway. The aims of this work were: (1) to ascertain the quality ... -
Major transitions in dinoflagellate evolution unveiled by phylotranscriptomics
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016-12-27)Dinoflagellates are key species in marine environments, but they remain poorly understood in part because of their large, complex genomes, unique molecular biology, and unresolved in-group relationships. We created a ... -
Making mathematics and science integration happen: key aspects of practice
(Informa UK Limited, 2015-08-21)The integration of mathematics and science teaching and learning facilitates student learning, engagement, motivation, problem-solving, criticality and real-life application. However, the actual implementation of an ... -
Making randomised trials more efficient: report of the first meeting to discuss the trial forge platform
(Springer Nature, 2015-06-05)Randomised trials are at the heart of evidence-based healthcare, but the methods and infrastructure for conducting these sometimes complex studies are largely evidence free. Trial Forge (www.trialforge.org) is an initiative ... -
Making the commons work: conservation and cooperation in ireland
(University of Wisconsin Press, 2008-09-12)Commonage represents land held under common property that incorporates a system of local cooperative arrangements and rides to conserve and manage the Irish uplands. We analyze the institutional and economic factors that ... -
Malignant melanoma arising in red tattoo ink
(Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, 2015-01-01)We report the case of a 33-year-old male who presented with a malignant melanoma on his anterior chest wall. The lesion was only found in the red ink pigment of the tattoo, as were several in-transit dermal metastases. ... -
