Development of Stem Cell Based Therapy for Thymic Regeneration (THYMISTEM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Reconstitution of immune system function in immunocompromised patients depends on the presence of a functional thymus, and specifically, on the diverse array of epithelial cells within the thymic stroma. The thymus is the first organ to degenerate in normal healthy individuals, and is also sensitive to cytotoxic interventions. Therefore lack of thymic function presents a serious problem for many p ...

INFLUENCE OF SILT CHARACTERISTICS ON LIQUEFACTION BEHAVIOR OF SILTY SANDS (liquefctn siltysands)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Soil liquefaction is one of the most interesting and intriguing phenomena in geotechnical engineering that has been under research for decades. This is probably because its consequences can be catastrophic with significant socio-economical impacts. Many natural sands in situ which are prone to liquefaction are silty sands because they contain certain amount of silt. The previous laboratory researc ...

Phosphorus MR Spectroscopic Imaging of Brain Tumors at 3T (31P_SPECTRA_3T)

Start date: Apr 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) is a non-invasive MR imaging technique that can provide in-vivo quantitative information about the energy metabolism, the oxygen state and the pH within a given region of interest. 31-Phosphorus (31-P) is fifteen times less abundant in tissue than proton (1-H) leading to a higher interest of proton spectral imaging at low field strengths. In-vi ...
