Alpha-smooth muscle actin is considered a reliable marker for distinguishing between arterial smooth muscle and endothelial cells. Several authors have reported heterogeneity in the expression of… (More)
Vascular pericytes can differentiate into osteoblast-like cells in vitro, suggesting that these cells may represent a potential source of osteoprogenitor cells in the adult. Pericyte differentiation… (More)
Endothelial cells plated on two-dimensional (2-D) substrata proliferate until they form a tightly apposed confluent monolayer of quiescent cells that display a typical 'cobblestone' morphology. When… (More)
Scheduling any complicated job shop becomes increasingly more difficult when the cycle time is reduced. This paper will discuss the implementation of a simulationbased scheduling system that properly… (More)

Pericytes are defined in vivo by their location: They are embedded within the basement membrane of microvessels. They form an integral part of the microvascular wall and are believed to participate… (More)
We have previously shown that both p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-xylopyranoside (alpha-xyloside) and p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylopyranoside (beta-xyloside) inhibit endothelial morphogenesis in vitro. In order… (More)
