(2009)
Despite the implementation of prevention guidelines, early-onset group B streptococci (GBS) disease remains a cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Strategies to identify women who are at risk of transmitting ...
Gene prediction using the Self-Organizing Map: automatic generation of multiple gene models
(2004-03-05)
This work explores a new approach to gene-prediction, based on the Self-Organizing Map, which has the ability to automatically identify multiple gene models within a genome. The current implementation, named RescueNet, ...
Human chorionic gonadotrophin relaxation of human pregnant myometrium and activation of the BKCa channel
(2003)
The uterorelaxant effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is regarded as an important mediator in maintenance of uterine quiescence during pregnancy with clinical potential for tocolysis, the mechanisms of which are ...
Youth Mentoring as a Tool for Community and Civic Engagement: Reflections on Findings of an Irish Research Study
(Taylor and Francis, 2009-12-07)
Youth mentoring programs such as Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) are traditionally considered to be a vehicle for youth development rather than community development. In fact, the notion that the one-to-one engagement that ...
Neurotrophic Factor-Expressing Mesenchymal Stem Cells Survive Transplantation into the Contused Spinal Cord Without Differentiating into Neural Cells
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2009-10)
The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of transplanting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), genetically modified to express glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), to the contused rat spinal cord, and to subsequently ...
