Alternative Culture Systems for Bovine Oocyte In Vitro Maturation: Liquid Marbles and Differentially Shaped 96-Well Plates [PDF]
Animals, 2023 In vivo-matured oocytes exhibit higher developmental competence than those matured in vitro but mimicking the in vivo environment by in vitro conditions has been challenging.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AIn the insect realm, liquids become traps due to capillary and viscous forces dominant at their scale. Yet, aphids handle the highly viscous honeydew droplets they secrete by coating them with hydrophobic wax powder which maintains an air layer between their body and the liquid.

Responsive Photonic Liquid Marbles. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl, 2020 AbstractLiquid marbles have potential to serve as mini‐reactors for fabricating new materials, but this has been exploited little and mostly for conventional chemical reactions. Here, we uncover the unparalleled capability of liquid marbles to act as platforms for controlling the self‐assembly of a bio‐derived polymer, hydroxypropyl cellulose, into a ...

Coalescence Processes of Droplets and Liquid Marbles [PDF]
Micromachines, 2017 The coalescence process of droplets and, more recently, of liquid marbles, has become one of the most essential manipulation schemes in digital microfluidics. This process is indispensable for realising microfluidic functions such as mixing and reactions

Bovine in vitro oocyte maturation and embryo culture in liquid marbles 3D culture system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Despite the advances in in vitro embryo production (IVP) over the years, the technique still has limitations that need to be overcome. In cell cultures, it is already well established that three-dimensional culture techniques are more physiological and ...

Liquid Marbles: From Industrial to Medical Applications [PDF]
Molecules, 2018 Liquid marbles are versatile structures demonstrating a pseudo-Leidenfrost wetting regime formed by encapsulating microscale volumes of liquid in a particle shell. The liquid core is completely separated from the exterior through air pockets.
