Engraftment, migration and differentiation of neural stem cells in the rat spinal cord following contusion injury
(Elsevier, 2012-12-20)Background aims. Spinal cord injury is a devastating injury that impacts drastically on the victim's quality of life. Stem cells have been proposed as a therapeutic strategy. Neural stem (NS) cells have been harvested from ... -
Enhanced antitumor efficacy of a dr5-specific trail variant over recombinant human trail in a bioluminescent ovarian cancer xenograft model
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2009-03-10)Purpose: Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (rhTRAIL) is clinically evaluated as novel anticancer drug. rhTRAIL-DR5, a rhTRAIL variant that specifically binds to DR5 receptor, has ... -
Enhanced GABA-A inhibition enhances synchrony coding in human perception
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000-10-20)The benzodiazepine, lorazepam enhances the efficiency of local, inhibitory GABAA synapses in the cortex, which stabilize postsynaptic, excitatory activity by synchronizing their own discharges at around 40 Hz. Treatment ... -
Enhanced nociceptive responding in two rat models of depression is associated with alterations in monoamine levels in discrete brain regions
(2010)Altered pain responding in depression is a widely recognized but poorly understood phenomenon The present study investigated nociceptive responding to acute (thermal and mechanical) and persistent (inflammatory) noxious ... -
Enhanced optical emission during crab giant radio pulses
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2003-07-25)We detected a correlation between optical and giant radio pulse emission from the Crab pulsar. Optical pulses coincident with the giant radio pulses were on average 3% brighter than those coincident with normal radio pulses. ... -
An enhanced phenomenological model to predict surface-based localised corrosion of magnesium alloys for medical use
(Elsevier, 2023-01-05)This study developed an enhanced phenomenological model for the predictions of surface-based localised corrosion of magnesium alloys for use in medical applications. The modelling framework extended previous surface-based ... -
Enhanced photostability of a Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complex under highly oxidizing aqueous conditions by its partial inclusion into a cyclodextrin
(Wiley, 2016-01-08)The complex [Ru(bpy)2L]2+, where bpy=2,2′-bipyridine, L=4-(phenylethynyl)-2,2′-bipyridine, was prepared in its racemic and resolved forms (Δ and Λ). The phenylethynyl unit on the bipyridine for the complex acts as a binding ... -
Enhanced real-time face models from stereo imaging for gaming applications
(IEEE, 2009-10-23)Techniques for improved 2D active appearance face models are presented. When these are applied to stereoscopic image pairs we show that sufficient information on image depth is obtained to generate an approximate 3D face ... -
Enhanced visual temporal resolution in autism spectrum disorders
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2012-03-21)Cognitive functions that rely on accurate sequencing of events, such as action planning and execution, verbal and nonverbal communication, and social interaction rely on well-tuned coding of temporal event-structure. Visual ... -
Enhancement of a data management system using design for Lean Six Sigma
(Springer, Cham, 2023-02-12)Ireland has developed a highly successful medical device cluster. The cluster experience accelerated growth during the 1990s when many USA multinationals established manufacturing sites. Manufacturing is the driving force ... -
Enhancement of bauxite residue as a low-cost absorbent for phosphorus in aqueous solution, using seawater and gypsum treatments.
(Elsevier, 2018-01-20)Bauxite residue (red mud), the by-product produced in the alumina industry, is being produced at an estimated global rate of approximately 150Mt per annum. Due to its highly alkaline nature, many refineries use neutralisation ... -
Enhancement of estrogen receptor transcriptional activity by the coactivator grip-1 highlights the role of activation function 2 in determining estrogen receptor pharmacology
(American Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (ASBMB), 1998-03-20)The human estrogen receptor (ER) contains two major activation functions (AFs) responsible for its transcriptional activity. One of these, activation function 2 (AF-2), located within the hormone-binding domain (HBD), has ... -
Enhancing blood circulation time and performance of nano-drug delivery systems using nanoparticles and hydrogels
(NUI Galway, 2024-01-26)Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and hydrogels are some of the most sought-after methods of nano-drug delivery systems. Properties such as high biocompatibility, selectivity and loading capacity are among the many ... -
