## Abstract Dendritic cells (DC) are the most potent antigenβpresenting cells and during their life cycle they are exposed to different oxygen tensions. Similarly to inflamed and tumor tissues, lymphoid organs are characterized by a hypoxic microenvironment; thus, the modality by which hypoxia may
## Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells capable of developing along the chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic lineages. As such, they have received interest as a potential cell source for tissue engineering strategies. Cartilage is an avascular tissue and thus resides in a
To evaluate the respective roles of halothane metabolism and hypoxia in rats with halothane hepatotoxicity, experiments were designed with special reference to blood gas. After pretreatment with phenobarbital (80 mg per kg., i.p.) for four consecutive days, rats were exposed to 1.0% halothane under
The cellular mechanisms by which ischemic preconditioning increases liver tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion injury are still poorly understood. This study investigated the role of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in the protection associated with the late phase of liver preconditioning. Late p
