Network using Michaelis–Menten kinetics: constructing an algorithm to find target genes from expression data

We derived a simple ordinary differential equation-based model using Michaelis–Menten Kinetics to process the microarray data

Research

A method for the generation of large numbers of dendritic cells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from cord blood

Neonatal dendritic cells generated form CD34+ cord blood progenitors have a higher inflammatory potential when exposed to viral than bacterial related stimuli
