Growth medium with low serum and transforming growth factor beta 3 promotes better chondrogenesis of bone marrow-derived stem cells in vitro and in vivo by Alfaqeh, Hamoud Hussein Mohammed, Chua, K. Hui, Saim, Aminuddin, Idrus, Ruszymah

“…Adult mesenchymal stem cells are candidate cells for cartilage tissue engineering due to their ability to undergo chondrogenic differentiation after extensive expansion, and induced with growth factors.1 Sustained delivery of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß)3 induces differentiation of human bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) into chondrocytes.2 Bone marrowderived stem cells undergo chondrogenesis in a variety of culture conditions, and the addition of TGF-ßs has generally enhanced chondrogenesis regardless of culture method.3 "echondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs induced by growth factors, such as TGF-ß3, and insulin like growth factor (IGF)-1 can inhibit the instability of the chondrocyte phenotype, promote extracellular matrix secretion, and maintain cartilage matrix macromolecules during chondrogenesis.4 "e shift from TGF-ß3 to IGF-I at week 3 resulted in a significant increase of cartilage-like extracellular matrix.5 "is study aimed to examine the effect of TGF-ß3 and TGF-ß2 on BMSCs chondrogenesis in vitro and in vivo.…”

Effect of multiple-particle size reinforced silicon carbide(SICP) on properties of aluminium matrix composite by Adebisi, Adetayo A., Maleque, Md. Abdul

“…The result shows that aluminium matrix composite with multiple-particle size SiC exhibit better properties including wear resistance than single or double particle size SiC reinforcement as a result of proper shielding effect of base metal and the fine particles by the coarse particles. This study could be use to optimise the wear rate of structural applications developed with multiple-particle size aluminium matrix composite.…”

Topological analysis of low-powered 3D-TESH network by Al Faisal, Faiz, Rahman, M.M. Hafizur, Inoguchi, Yasushi

“…The static network performance and power analysis of 3D-TESH network have already been studied earlier and shown to be good than that of other networks. 3D-TESH network has achieved about 52.08% better diameter performance and near about 45.71% better average distance performance than the 3D-Torus network and even from the mathematical analysis 3D-TESH requires less than 72.73% power usage than the 5D-Torus network. In this paper, we evaluate the other important static parameters like- Packing Density, Message Traffic density, fault tolerance and etc.; and also compare the result with the other networks. …”
