Physicochemical Reinforcement Unlocks Sterilization‐Stable Anisotropic Hydrogels for Cell‐Compatible Mock Arteries

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)

What is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and why is it important?

, 2015
Fatty liver is defined pathologically by stainable fat in hepatocytes (steatosis), or biochemically by hepatic triglyceride content exceeding 5.5%. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent disorder in which over-nutrition leads to
