In the endogenous respiration concept the biodegradable fraction of X OHO is regarded as a homogenous substrate that undergoes self-destruction in the absence of external substrate. The degradation process of X OHO is modelled with Eq. (4) and Eq.xperimental evidence for the validity of the endogenous respiration model comes from Marais and Ekama (1976) . Using the OUR method, the value of b OHO was found to be 0.24 d â1 and independent from SRT in the range of 2.5â30 days. Similar results were obtained by van Haandel et al.
1 Basal cells: These cells are in the lower part of the epidermis, called the basal cell layer. 2  These cells constantly divide to form new cells to replace the squamous cells that wear off the skinâs surface.3  As these cells move up in the epidermis, they get flatter, eventually becoming squamous cells.he main types of cells in the epidermis include: 1  Squamous cells: These are flat cells in the outer part of the epidermis that are constantly shed as new ones form. 2  Basal cells: These cells are in the lower part of the epidermis, called the basal cell layer.
Kauferâs lab focused on neural stem cells in the hippocampus of the brains of adult rats under acute or chronic stress. These stem cells were previously thought to mature only into neurons or a type of glial cell called an astrocyte.However, the researchers found that chronic stress made stem cells in the hippocampus mature into another type of glial cell called an oligodendrocyte, which produces the myelin that sheaths nerve cells.hronic stress decreases the number of stem cells that mature into neurons and might provide an explanation for how chronic stress also affects learning and memory, according to the researchers. âUsually the brain doesnât make much oligodendrocytes in adulthood from those neural stem cells,â according to Kaufer.
