Dynamic Principle of Center of Mass in Human Walking

Yifang Fan, Yubo Fan, Zhiyu Li, Mushtaq Loan & Changsheng Lv · Biotechnology Journal International · 2013

Assuming the ground reaction force of both feet to be the same in the same phase of a stride cycle, we establish the relationships between the time of initial foot contact and the ground reaction force, acceleration, velocity, displacement and average kinetic energy of center of...

Constraining the Pluripotent Fate of Human Embryonic Stem Cells for Tissue Engineering and Cell Therapy – The Turning Point of Cell-Based Regenerative Medicine

Xuejun H. Parsons · Biotechnology Journal International · 2013

To date, the lack of a clinically-suitable source of engraftable human stem/progenitor cells with adequate neurogenic potential has been the major setback in developing safe and effective cell-based therapies for regenerating the damaged or lost CNS structure and circuitry in a w...
