The more elastic PU nanofibers demonstrated more osteogenic and chondrogenic induction potential than PCL electrospun fibers.
Some screening of induction potential can be conducted by the use of human hepatocytes, but supply and variable response limits their use.
In our study median time to treatment was 4 h and the induction potential may very well be underestimated, as additional patients may have developed migraine if treatment had been postponed.
To quantitatively compare ΔU PC with the induced EMF U i, one should take into account a spatial decrease of the induction potential ϕ ind ∝ 1/l (Pellinen and Heikkila 1984) and the low efficiency of its transmission into the ionosphere (e.g., Gordeev et al. 2011).
Decellularized ECM deposited by osteogenic hMSCs early in the differentiation process stimulated naïve hMSCs osteogenesis and substrate biomineralization in the absence of added dexamethasone, but this osteogenic induction potential was lower in ECMs decellularized later in the osteogenic hMSC differentiation process.
These data demonstrate significant T cell induction potential.
Moreover, a number of mutant HbpR proteins with slightly different scans still retained normal induction potential.
Yet, E203P and E42F maintained induction potential similar as wild-type HbpR, whereas C187F and I56T were impaired (Table 1).
Correlating with the induction potential of CD152 on T cells, T cells stimulated by DCs migrated significantly better in response to CCL4 or CXCL12 than did T cells activated by B cells (Fig. 5D).
In general and for all mutants, we observed four types of effects: (i) complete loss of activation with respect to the wild-type (type I), (ii) two-fold loss of induction potential in 2 h but not 4 h incubation periods (type II), (iii) no effect compared to the wild-type (type III), and (iv) considerable increase of background expression (type IV, Table 1, Fig. 3).
MWCNTs have been reported by many research teams, including ours, to possess bone induction potential.
