Retrievable hydrogels for ovarian follicle transplantation and oocyte collection
(American Cancer SocietyWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-08)
Cancer survivorship rates have drastically increased due to improved efficacy of oncologic treatments. Consequently, clinical concerns have shifted from solely focusing on survival to quality of life, with fertility ...
Historical microbiology: revival and phylogenetic analysis of the luminous bacterial cultures of M . W . B eijerinck
(John Wiley and Sons, 2011-12)
Luminous bacteria isolated by M artinus W . B eijerinck were sealed in glass ampoules in 1924 and 1925 and stored under the names P hotobacterium phosphoreum and ‘ P hotobacterium splendidum ’. To determine if ...
Structure‐guided insights on the role of NS1 in flavivirus infection
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-05)
Primary rat hepatocyte culture on 3D nanofibrous polymer scaffolds for toxicology and pharmaceutical research
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2011-01)
Primary rat hepatocytes are a widely used experimental model to estimate drug metabolism and toxicity. In currently used two-dimensional (2D) cell culture systems, typical problems like morphological changes and the loss ...
Microprinted feeder cells guide embryonic stem cell fate
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2011-10)
We introduce a non‐contact approach to microprint multiple types of feeder cells in a microarray format using immiscible aqueous solutions of two biopolymers. Droplets of cell suspension in the denser aqueous phase are ...
Evaluation of encapsulating and microporous nondegradable hydrogel scaffold designs on islet engraftment in rodent models of diabetes
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-09)
Islet transplantation is a promising therapeutic option for type 1 diabetes mellitus, yet the current delivery into the hepatic portal vasculature is limited by poor engraftment. Biomaterials have been used as a means to ...
A microfluidic bioreactor with integrated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement electrodes for evaluation of renal epithelial cells
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2010-11-01)
We have developed a bilayer microfluidic system with integrated transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurement electrodes to evaluate kidney epithelial cells under physiologically relevant fluid flow conditions. ...
Relationships between the Seasonal Variations of Macroinvertebrates, and Land Uses for Biomonitoring in the Xitiaoxi River Watershed, China
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2012-06)
The impacts of differences in watershed land uses, and differences in seasonality on benthic macroinvertebrate communities, were evaluated in 12 stream sites within the Xitiaoxi River watershed, China, from April 2009 to ...
Assessing microbial competition in a hydrogen‐based membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) using multidimensional modeling
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-09)
The membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) is a novel technology that safely delivers hydrogen to the base of a denitrifying biofilm via gas‐supplying membranes. While hydrogen is an effective electron donor for denitrifying ...
