Journal ArticleDOI
Objective Estimates of the Probability of Death from Burn Injuries
Colleen M. Ryan,David A. Schoenfeld,William P. Thorpe,Robert L. Sheridan,Edwin H. Cassem,Ronald G. Tompkins +5 more
TL;DR: The probability of mortality after burns is low and can be predicted soon after injury on the basis of simple, objective clinical criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesenchymal stem cells: Mechanisms of immunomodulation and homing.
Hiroshi Yagi,Alejandro Soto-Gutierrez,Biju Parekkadan,Yuko Kitagawa,Ronald G. Tompkins,Naoya Kobayashi,Martin L. Yarmush,Martin L. Yarmush +7 more
TL;DR: The known mechanisms of immunomodulation and homing of MSCs are described and contextualized to understand a reported side effect of M SC therapy, cancer development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance analysis of time course microarray experiments
TL;DR: A significance method for analyzing time course microarray studies that can be applied to the typical types of comparisons and sampling schemes and shows that as many as 47% of the genes change with age in a manner more complex than simple exponential growth or decay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudomonas aeruginosa killing of Caenorhabditis elegans used to identify P. aeruginosa virulence factors
TL;DR: It is reported that among eight P. aeruginosa PA14 TnphoA mutants isolated that exhibited reduced killing of C. elegans, at least five also exhibited reduced virulence in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 4-hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines (HAQs) reveals a role for 4-hydroxy-2-heptylquinoline in cell-to-cell communication.
Eric Déziel,François Lépine,Sylvain Milot,Jianxin He,Michael N. Mindrinos,Ronald G. Tompkins,Laurence G. Rahme +6 more
TL;DR: This work finds that anthranilic acid, the product of the PhnAB synthase, is the primary precursor of HAQs and that the HAQ congener 4-hydroxy-2-heptylquinoline (HHQ) is the direct precursor of the PQS signaling molecule.
