FABRICATION OF HUMAN KERATINOCYTE CELL CLUSTERS FOR SKIN GRAFT APPLICATIONS BY TEMPLATING WATER-IN-WATER PICKERING EMULSIONS

Fabrication of Human Keratinocyte Cell Clusters for Skin Graft Applications by Templating Water-in-Water Pickering Emulsions

Most current methods for the preparation of tissue spheroids require complex materials, involve tedious physical steps and are generally not scalable.We report a novel alternative, which is both inexpensive and up-scalable, to produce large quantities of viable human keratinocyte cell clusters (clusteroids).The method is based on a two-phase aqueou

Bone-Demineralized bone-Bone Grafts for Ligament Reconstruction

Ligament reconstruction with the use of novel demineralized bone grafts was investigated in a rabbit model.By demineralizing only the central portions of the long bone samples, the grafts had a configuration of the bone-tendon-bone graft and were flexible in bending.Strip type grafts made from femur, stick type grafts from tibia, and tube type graf

Microarray Evaluation of Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence of Escherichia coli Isolates from Portuguese Poultry

The presence sawgrass virtuoso sg500 complete sublijet sublimation printer kit of antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors of 174 Escherichia coli strains isolated from healthy Portuguese Gallus gallus was evaluated.Resistance profiles were determined against 33 antimicrobials by microbroth dilution.Resistance was prevalent for tetracycline (

HOXA5 inhibits the proliferation of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells by enhancing MXD1 expression and activating the p53 pathway

Abstract Homeobox A5 (HOXA5) is a transcription factor in mammalian and can regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis as well as tumorigenesis.However, little is known on whether and how HOXA5 can regulate the malignant behaviors of cholangiocarcinoma.The methylation hyfrodol levels of HOXA5 were evaluated by methylation microarra
