Abstract: A device for culturing, storing and expanding adherent renal cells. The device permits the adhesion and proliferation of the cells and the surface characteristics of the membrane material used in said device further permit the cellular matrix components (EMC). A method for expanding adherent renal cells and methods of using particular membranes for culturing, storing and expanding adherent renal cells. The membranes comprise a copolymer of acrylonitrile and sodium methallyl sulfonate as well as polyethylenimine.

Abstract: Determining and applying format attributes associated with content in an electronic document that is cut or copied from an electronic document and pasted into the same or different electronic document. The determination may be based on the format attributes of the content within a region of an electronic document containing the cut or copied content and the format attributes of a region of content that includes the location where the cut or copied text may be pasted. Local formatting may be associated with the source region of content and the destination region of content. Direct, or emphasis formatting, may be associated with content that has been cut or copied.

Abstract: A bioartificial kidney equivalent and a process for producing the bioartificial kidney equivalent. The hybrid bioartificial kidney comprises human proximal and distal renal tubule cells grown on particular synthetic membranes.

Abstract: Reference information related to data that is copied using computer software is provided. The data can be copied from a first computer application to a memory. Reference information related to the data can also be copied to the memory. The copied data can be pasted to a second computer application. The reference information related to the data can also be pasted to the second application, so that the reference information can be reviewed along with the data. The data and reference information can also be copied and pasted among one or more documents using a single computer application.
