While there are numerous studies on the effect of this neurotoxin, still further investigation is required to understand the influence of this toxin on different regions of the brain. In the present study, there are two groups of rats of which one is treated with 3-NP. Behavioral, stereological and immunohistochemical analyses were conducted. The results show that locomotor activity is largely affected and anxiety is induced up to a certain level, but there is no gross manifestation of deficit in memory. Microscopic observations illustrate damages in the hippocampus and other parts of the brain. Astrogliosis and glial scars were another finding of this study. In conclusion, although 3-NP can be used as a model of Huntington's disease, it exerts a disseminated effect on different regions of the brain.Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and are of interest in biotechnologies that will require cryopreservation. Recently, MSC-like cells were isolated from colostrum and milk. We used an interrupted slow freezing procedure to examine cryoinjury incurred during slow cooling and rapid cooling of MSC-like cells from swine colostrum. Cells were loaded with either dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) or glycerol, cooled to a nucleation temperature, ice-nucleated, and further cooled at 1 °C/min. At several temperatures along the cooling path, cells were either thawed directly, or plunged into liquid nitrogen for storage and later thawed. The pattern of direct-thaw and plunge-thaw responses was used to guide optimization of cryopreservation protocol parameters. We f
