Does salinity make a difference—Kidney anatomy of Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.

A Practical Gut‐On‐Chip Workflow for Imaging‐Based Assessment of Epithelial Barrier Dynamics During E. coli Co‐Culture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intestinal epithelium and its resident microbiota form a dynamic interface that is central to gut homeostasis, but this interface is difficult to model with conventional tools. Static Transwell cultures lack physiological fluid shear, whereas animal models are costly and poorly suited to quantitative, high‐content imaging.

The impact of supraglacial ice cliff and pond formation on debris-free, tropical glacier mass loss

Journal of Glaciology
Tropical Andean glaciers provide an important flux of freshwater to communities living both in high-altitude Cordillera and population centres downstream in countries such as Peru and Bolivia. Glacier recession threatens the sustainability of these water

Modelling glacier-bed overdeepenings and possible future lakes for the glaciers in the Himalaya—Karakoram region

Annals of Glaciology, 2016
Surface digital elevation models (DEMs) and slope-related estimates of glacier thickness enable modelling of glacier-bed topographies over large ice-covered areas.

Magnetoelastic Cell Monitoring System for Evaluating the Effects of Surface Chemistry on the Performance of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The recent clinical adoption of cell therapies has increased the need for more efficient, robust, and reproducible manufacturing technologies. Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs), a major component of the cell and immunotherapeutic market, remain challenging to manufacture at scale because they require surface attachment and are highly ...

A nanoplatform that induces dual‐amino acid deprivation to reverse tumor immunosuppression and enhance metabolic immunotherapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
ZIF‐8‐based nanoparticles co‐delivering CB‐839 (glutaminase inhibitor) and 1‐MT (IDO1 inhibitor), dual‐targeting glutamine/tryptophan metabolism to induce immunogenic cell death, activate STING, block kynurenine production, reverse immunosuppression, and enhance cancer immunotherapy to suppress primary/distant tumors.

Minimal Glacier Models

, 2008
During the past few decades the study of glaciers and their response to climate change has shown a strong development. Early theoretical work in the fifties and sixties has been complemented by the construction of numerical models of glaciers and ice sheets with various degrees of complexity.

Tailoring drug‐to‐lipid ratio in redox‐responsive lipid‐mimetic prodrug liposomes for superior cabazitaxel delivery and antitumor efficacy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Redox‐responsive lipid‐mimetic prodrug liposomes with high drug‐to‐lipid ratios enhance cabazitaxel delivery, prolong circulation, and enable tumor‐selective drug release for superior antitumor efficacy and safety. Abstract Liposomes represent one of the most extensively investigated nanocarriers in drug delivery.

Nacre‐inspired layered composite with excellent mechanical support and osteogenic potential for cervical interbody cage

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The cervical interbody cage needs to take both biomechanical and biological requirements into account. Here, a new‐style degradable, multicomponent, and bioinspired nacre‐like cervical interbody cage composite, which exhibits promising mechanical‐support‐related behavior and osteogenesis‐related potential, is designed and prepared.

Optimising ice flow law parameters using borehole deformation measurements and numerical modelling

Geophysical Research Letters, 2008
Internal ice strain rates have been measured along two boreholes drilled through Glacier de Tsanfleuron, Switzerland. Differences between these measurements and the output from a 3D numerical model of glacier motion have been minimized by a scheme that ...
