A Bayesian Approach to Optimizing Stem Cell Cryopreservation protocols

open access: yes, 2014
Cryopreservation is beset with the challenge of protocol alignment across a wide range of cell types and process variables. By taking a cross-sectional assessment of previously published cryopreservation data (sample means and standard errors) as ...

Interaction of CO2 laser-modified nylon with osteoblast cells in relation to wettability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
It has been amply demonstrated previously that CO2 lasers hold the ability to surface modify various polymers. In addition, it has been observed that these surface enhancements can augment the biomimetic nature of the laser irradiated materials.

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Hydrogel dressing containing natural extracts inhibits dual-species biofilms of Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii in ex vivo wound infection models

open access: yesScientific Reports
Wound infections represent a significant cause of delayed wound healing. An active wound dressing was developed by incorporating extracts of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa leaf and Quercus infectoria gall in a carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel (RQ hydrogel).
