Hydrogel Confinement Strategies for 3D Cell Culture in Microfluidic Systems

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hydrogel confinement structures are key to organizing 3D cell cultures in microfluidic devices. This review classifies five structural strategies (micropillar, phaseguide, porous membrane, stepped‐height, and support‐free) and examines their trade‐offs alongside fabrication methods.

Ecological-evolutionary feedback in evolved lineages of Pseudomonas fluorescens : a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Microbiology at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Multicellularity cannot proceed to subsequent stages without the evolution of collectives. Thus, it becomes essential to understand the evolution of cooperation before the evolution of multicellularity.

A Biomarker‐Driven Ovary–Endometrium Organ‐on‐a‐Chip Mimicking 3D Multicellular Complexity and Menstrual Cyclicity for Predicting Reproductive Toxicity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a dual‐organ, biomarker‐integrated ovaryendometrium organ‐on‐a‐chip that recapitulates 3D tissue complexity, menstrual cycle dynamics, and hormonal crosstalk. This platform enables real‐time, cell‐typespecific fluorescent readouts of reproductive toxicity using ANGPTL4 and SERPINB2 as early‐response reporters.

Function and firing of the Streptomyces coelicolor contractile injection system requires the membrane protein CisA

eLife
Bacterial contractile injection systems (CIS) are phage tail-like macromolecular complexes that mediate cell-cell interactions by injecting effector proteins into target cells.

The first embryo, the origin of cancer and animal phylogeny. IV. The neoplastic basis for the formation of the innate immune system

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The formation of the innate immune system of animals can only be envisioned after the development of the first metazoan embryo. The decisive role of Embryology in understanding the evolution of the immune system has been inexplicably disregarded in the ...
