We prioritize developing robot interactions that can be tested long-term in older adults' homes to better inform how social robots can shape aging-in-place.
While many promising tissue-engineered valves have been created in the lab using the cell-seeded polymeric scaffold paradigm, none have been successfully tested long-term in the aortic position of a pre-clinical model.
These systems have been tested (long-term) at both pilot plant and industrial scale in order to define the guidelines for a safe application in the industrial environment, to address technical and economic issues and to put forward guidelines for retrofitting existing furnaces.
We next tested long-term engraftment and differentiation of CD184+/CD271−/CD44−/CD24+ -sorted proliferating NSC.
We tested long-term potentiation (LTP) and short term potentiation (paired-pulse facilitation, PPF) of synaptic transmission in vivo in area CA1 of the hippocampus.
We subsequently tested long-term culture of H9 hES cells to 15 passages (about 100 days), morphologies of undifferentiated hES cell colonies were maintained as those cultured on MEFs feeders.
Here, we tested long-term effects: 1 3 months of daily QMT sessions, to enable training-induced brain functional and structural modulation and reorganization.
When we tested long-term survival following LCMV infection we found that STAT3 deficiency was associated with significantly earlier demise (Fig. 5).
Mice were tested over 3 days: day 1 was learning of the platform location, day 2 was recall and day 9 tested long-term recall of the platform location.
In light of noted subtle differences in short-term adhesion to FN (and in surface expression of α5-integrin), we first tested long-term cell spreading of our four cell lines to 10 µg/ml FN, a saturating concentration which effectively promotes cell adhesion and migration (Clark et al., 1986; Sottile et al., 1998; Tvorogov et al., 2005).
Although we could demonstrate the general feasibility of our approach, with which we were able to generate allo-restricted ET-specific T cells in sufficient numbers of every donor tested, long-term persistence of our T cells in vivo has not been analyzed, but may be further investigated in a humanised mouse model (Traggiai et al, 2004).
