One third of alloantibodies in patients with sickle cell disease transfused with African blood are missed by the standard red blood cell test panel [PDF]
Studies on red blood cell (RBC) antibodies in Africa routinely use standard test cells from donors of Caucasian descent. There are no systematic data on alloimmunization against antigens that are almost exclusively present in Africans. We studied the prevalence of antibodies in transfused Ghanaian patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) using standard ...

A new cell line based coculture system for skin sensitisation testing in one single assay using T cells, aryl hydrocarbon receptor knockout, and co-inhibitory blockage [PDF]
AbstractEstablished in vitro assays for regulatory testing of skin sensitisation partly suffer from only moderate sensitivity, specificity, and predictivity when testing specific groups of chemicals. This may be due to limited biomarker response in vitro in cell types that interact as crucial players of in vivo skin sensitisation pathogenesis. Here, we

Evaluating nanoparticle (NP) toxicity in human cell systems is a fundamental requirement for future NP biomedical applications. In this study, we have designed a screening assay for assessing different types of cell death induced by NPs in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) culture.

Phenotypic Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing at the limit of one bacterial cell [PDF]
The blood of a septic patient contains only a few bacteria per milliliter. Recently, various techniques have been developed for extracting these few bacteria from a blood sample. Independent of how these bacteria are separated from the blood cells, we want to learn from them how to treat the infection.

A major challenge for cell-based non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is to distinguish individual presumptive fetal cells from maternal cells in female pregnancies. We have sought a rapid, robust, versatile, and low-cost next-generation sequencing method to facilitate this process.

Synthesis of Substituted Thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4‐ones and Their Testing for Evaluation of Cytotoxic Activity on Mammalian Cell Models [PDF]
From 2‐amino‐3‐ethoxycarbonyl‐4,5‐dimethyl‐, ‐polymethylenethiophenes (1-4) were synthesized 2,3‐disubstituted thieno[2,3‐d]dihydropyrrolo‐, tetrahydropyrido‐, and tetrahydroazepino[1,2‐a]pyrimidin‐4‐ones (5-16) for pharmacological investigations. The 12 compounds (5-16) were individually evaluated for their antiproliferative activities on mammalian ...

Changes to the Electrolyte in NMC640/Graphite Li-Ion Pouch Cells Tested for One Year at 85 °C
Single crystal Li[Ni0.6Mn0.4Co0.0]O2/graphite pouch cells with electrolytes of varying lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) concentrations from 0.2 to 1.0 M underwent about one year of cycling between 3.0 and 3.9 V at 85 °C before reaching 80% remaining capacity.

80,000 current on/off cycles in a one year long steam electrolysis test with a solid oxide cell
Abstract The current ON/OFF switching of a solid oxide electrolysis cell is treated as elementary step for power variation in a steam electrolyser system. If the cell voltage in the ON mode is adjusted to the thermal neutral voltage, heat generation remains zero in both modes, which largely facilitates the thermal management.
