    摘要: An agent-based modeling system for predicting and/or analyzing brain behavior is provided. The system includes a computer processor configured to define nodes and edges that interconnect the nodes. The edges are defined by physiological interactions and/or anatomical connections. The computer processor further defines rules and/or model parameters that define a functional behavior of the nodes and edges. The computer processor assigns the nodes to respective brain regions, and the rules and/or model parameters are defined by observed physiological interaction of the nodes that are functionally and/or structurally connected by said edges of brain regions to thereby provide an agent-based brain model (ABBM) for predicting and/or analyzing brain behavior.

    摘要: Provided herein are urine progenitor cells and methods for producing a culture of urine progenitor cells from a urine sample. The cells may be selected based upon the use of a selective cell medium, based upon morphology, and/or by selecting cell-specific markers. Also provided is an isolated urine progenitor cell that is c-kit positive and can differentiate into urothelium, smooth muscle, endothelium or interstitial cells. Methods of use of urine progenitor cells are provided, wherein cell are seeded onto a tissue scaffold are provided. Methods of treating a subject in need thereof are also provided, including providing a bladder tissue substrate that includes differentiated UPCs and transplanting the substrate into the patient. Finally, kits are provided that include a container suitable for the transport of a urine sample; media; one or more antibiotics; a package for holding said container, media, and antibiotics; and optionally, instructions for use.
