Human coronary artery organ‐chip with circulating immune cells recapitulates anti‐inflammatory effect of pulsatile wall strain

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
A fully characterised organ‐on‐a‐chip model of the human coronary artery with endothelial and smooth muscle cells, plus circulating immune cells, created on the Emulate platform. The model successfully recapitulates the physiological effects of pulsatile vessel dilation on cell morphology and the localised inflammatory susceptibility to TNF‐α ...

Pharmacokinetics and Acute Safety Evaluation of Tryptanthrin, A Bioactive Constituent of Indigo naturalis, Following Intravenous Administration in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of Indigo naturalis in treating inflammatory diseases is clinically restricted by severe adverse events, including pulmonary arterial hypertension and hepatotoxicity. Tryptanthrin, a major indoloquinazoline alkaloid of Indigo naturalis, exhibits potent anti‐inflammatory activity; however, its specific safety profile relative to the ...

Volume change of bulk metals and metal clusters due to spin-polarization

open access: yes, 2000
The stabilized jellium model (SJM) provides us a method to calculate the volume changes of different simple metals as a function of the spin polarization, $\zeta$, of the delocalized valence electrons.
