Functional Properties of Poly(Trimethylene Terephthalate)-Block-Poly(Caprolactone) Based Nanocomposites Containing Graphene Oxide (GO) and Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO).

This work reports a study on the influence of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on the functional properties of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)-block-poly(caprolactone) (PTT--PCL-T) (75/25 wt.%/wt.%) copolymer, obtained from dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), 1,3-biopropanediol and polycaprolactone diol (PCL) via in situ polymerization.

Impact of Graphene-Based Surfaces on the Basic Biological Properties of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Implications for Ex Vivo Cell Expansion Aimed at Tissue Repair.

The potential therapeutic applications of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and biomaterials have attracted a great amount of interest in the field of biomedical engineering. MSCs are multipotent adult stem cells characterized as cells with specific features, e.g.

Neonatal treatment with phenobarbital, zixoryn and chloramphenicol lack of imprinting effect of zixoryn on microsomal enzyme activities.

Two potent microsomal enzyme inducing agents, phenobarbital and flumecinol (Zixoryn) as well as the microsomal enzyme inhibitor chloramphenicol (Chlorocid) were given subcutaneously to newborn rats in the first 5 days of their life. Microsomal cytochrome P-450 and b5 content and various cytochrome P-450 and P-448 dependent enzyme activities were measured at the age of 20 weeks. Phenobarbital had positive imprint effect on aminopyrine N-demethylase activity in female and on aniline hydroxylase activity in male rats.
