Characterization of porcine endogenous retrovirus expression in neonatal and adult pig pancreatic islets [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Pig islets represent an alternative to the current modes of treatment for patients with diabetes. However, the concerns over pathogen transmission including that of PERV limit their immediate, widespread usage in humans.

Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Reduced glutathione and glutathione disulfide in the blood of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient newborns

BMC Pediatrics, 2017
Background Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is commonly detected during mass screening for neonatal disease. We developed a method to measure reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/

Guided Bone Regeneration Membrane Materials Loaded with Chimeric Nanovesicles Promote Early Bone Defect Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Early bone regeneration is challenged by poor osteogenic microenvironments. We developed a novel guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane: a plasma‐treated polycaprolactone (PT‐PCL) electrospun nanofiber functionalized with ultrasound sequentially extruded stromal vascular fraction chimeric vesicles (USE‐SCNVs). USE‐SCNVs require less equipment, enhance

Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection: A Narrative Review of the Issues in Screening and Management From a Panel of European Experts. [PDF]

, 2020
Maternal primary and non-primary cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection during pregnancy can result in in utero transmission to the developing fetus. Congenital CMV (cCMV) can result in significant morbidity, mortality or long-term sequelae, including ...

Mechanical and Electrical Phenotype of hiPSC‐Cardiomyocytes on Fibronectin‐Based Hydrogels

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce fibronectin‐based PEG hydrogels with controlled rigidity to enable the culture of iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes. These substrates offer an alternative to the current culture of these cells on fibronectin‐coated glass, providing enhanced structural and functional behavior. The system provides a more physiologically relevant platform to assess

The cost-effectiveness of neonatal versus prenatal screening for congenital toxoplasmosis

PLoS ONE, 2019
Background Congenital Toxoplasmosis (CT) can have severe consequences. France, Austria, and Slovenia have prenatal screening programs whereas some other countries are considering universal screening to reduce congenital transmission and severity of ...
