A novel biodegradable polymer scaffold for in vitro growth of corneal epithelial cells
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 The shortage of donor corneal tissue worldwide has led to extensive research for alternate corneal equivalents utilizing tissue engineering methods. We conducted experiments using Poly D, L lactic acid polymer along with a copolymer (Eudragit) in varying

Protein disulfide isomerase acts as an injury response signal that enhances fibrin generation via tissue factor activation [PDF]
, 2008 The activation of initiator protein tissue factor (TF) is likely to be a crucial step in the blood coagulation process, which leads to fibrin formation. The stimuli responsible for inducing TF activation are largely undefined.

Microparticle alpha‐2‐macroglobulin enhances pro‐resolving responses and promotes survival in sepsis
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2013 Incorporation of locally produced signaling molecules into cell‐derived vesicles may serve as an endogenous mediator delivery system. We recently reported that levels alpha‐2‐macroglobulin (A2MG)‐containing microparticles are elevated in plasma from ...

Surfactant concentration modulates the motion and placement of microparticles in an inhomogeneous electric field [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This study examined the effects of surfactants on the motion and positioning of microparticles in an inhomogeneous electric field. The microparticles were suspended in oil with a surfactant and the electric field was generated using sawtooth-patterned electrodes. The microparticles were trapped, oscillated, or attached to the electrodes. The proportion
