• Optimal hepatobiliary scintigraphy for gallbladder dyskinesia 

  Flick, K.F.; Soufi, M.; Sublette, C.M.; Sinsabaugh, C.A.; Colgate, C.L.; Tann, M.; House, M.G. (Elsevier, 2020-11)

  Background: The accuracy of hepatobiliary scintigraphy to assess gallbladder function remains controversial. National supply shortages of pharmaceutical-grade cholecystokinin led to the use of an oral fatty meal to stimulate ...
• Physioxia enhances T-cell development ex vivo from human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells 

  Shin, Dong-Yeop; Huang, Xinxin; Gil, Chang-Hyun; Aljoufi, Arafat; Ropa, James; Broxmeyer, Hal E. (Nova Science, 2020-11)

  Understanding physiologic T-cell development from hematopoietic stem (HSCs) and progenitor cells (HPCs) is essential for development of improved hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and emerging T-cell therapies. Factors ...
