Abstract. This paper focuses on Cap Gemini’s electronic commerce system, TransLease. TransLease is an interorganizational information system (IOS), which facilitates between motor vehicle leasing and repair companies. During our investigation, the was used by approximately 1000 agents working for seven of UK’s leading contract hire originally developed AT&T acquired Gemini in July 1998. At time acquisition, seen as being high strategic value, although it also underperforming. reports...
Islet transplantation is an efficacious therapy for type 1 diabetes; however, islets from multiple donor pancreata are required, and a gradual attrition in transplant function seen. Here, we manufactured human umbilical cord perivascular mesenchymal stromal cells (HUCPVCs) to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards. HUCPVCs showed stable phenotype while undergoing rapid ex vivo expansion at passage 2 (p2) 4 (p4) produced proregenerative factors, strongly suppressing T cell responses the...
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from various tissues are under investigation as cellular therapeutics in a wide range of diseases. It is appreciated that the basic biological functions MSCs vary depending on tissue source. However, in-depth comparative analyses between different sources Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions lacking. Human clinical-grade low-purity islet (LPI) fractions generated byproduct isolation for transplantation. MSC isolates were derived LPI with aim...
