Plasticity of differentiated cells in wound repair and tumorigenesis, Part II: Skin and intestine [PDF]
, 2018 Recent studies have identified and begun to characterize the roles of regenerative cellular plasticity in many organs. In Part I of our two-part Review, we discussed how cells reprogram following injury to the stomach and pancreas.

C:N:P stoichiometry in China's forests: From organs to ecosystems
, 2018 Summary Ecological stoichiometry connects different levels of biology, from the gene to the globe, by scaling up elemental ratios (e.g., carbon [C], nitrogen [N], and phosphorus [P]). Thus, ecological stoichiometry could be a powerful tool for revealing

Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Cancer and Immune Organs Modeling
Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2019 Bridging the gap between findings in preclinical 2D cell culture models and in vivo tissue cultures has been challenging; the simple microenvironment of 2D monolayer culture systems may not capture the cellular response to drugs accurately.

Transplantation of the heart after circulatory death of the donor: time for a change in law? [PDF]
, 2015 Procurement of organs has always been conducted according to the dead donor rule, that is, after death of the donor — but this practice is being challenged. Introduction Australia has an increasing shortfall in transplantable hearts.

The extraction of the new components from electrogastrogram (EGG), using both adaptive filtering and electrocardiographic (ECG) derived respiration signal [PDF]
, 2015 Electrogastrographic examination (EGG) is a noninvasive method for an investigation of a stomach slow wave propagation. The typical range of frequency for EGG signal is from 0.015 to 0.15 Hz or (0.015–0.3 Hz) and the signal usually is captured with ...
