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. ...
Pore-scale investigation of biomass plug development and propagation in porous media
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2002-03-05)
Biomass plugging of porous media finds application in enhanced oil recovery and bioremediation. An understanding of biomass plugging of porous media was sought by using a porous glass micromodel through which biomass and ...
Developing multicomponent interventions using fractional factorial designs
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2009-09-20)
Multicomponent interventions composed of behavioral, delivery, or implementation factors in addition to medications are becoming increasingly common in health sciences. A natural experimental approach to developing and ...
Growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL-B523 in an alkaline medium: Suboptimal pH growth inhibition of a lactic acid bacterium
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2005-01-05)
Bacterial profile modification (BPM), a form of tertiary oil recovery, diverts water from the water-flooded high-permeability zone into the oil-bearing low-permeability zone. During field use, exopolymer-producing bacteria ...
Generalizing the TITE-CRM to adapt for early- and late-onset toxicities
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005)
Due to the staggered entry of subjects in phase I trials, some subjects will only be partially through the study when others are ready to be enrolled. Nonetheless, many phase I designs focus solely upon whether or not ...
Semiparametric Bayesian modeling of random genetic effects in family-based association studies
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2009-01-15)
We consider the inference problem of estimating covariate and genetic effects in a family-based case-control study where families are ascertained on the basis of the number of cases within the family. However, our interest ...
Modelling tumour biology–progression relationships in screening trials
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005)
There has been some recent work in the statistical literature for modelling the relationship between tumour biology properties and tumour progression in screening trials. While non-parametric methods have been proposed for ...
