Biaxial testing of canine annulus fibrosus tissue under changing salt concentrations

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010
The in vivo mechanics of the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc is one of biaxial rather than uniaxial loading. The material properties of the annulus are intimately linked to the osmolarity in the tissue.

CONSUMERS'ACCEPTANCE OF FRESH AND COMBINED METHODS PROCESSED MELON, MANGO AND CASHEW APPLE [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2001
Fresh and combined methods processed Cantaloupe melons, mangoes and cashew apples were submitted to consumers' acceptance and scored on a nine-point hedonic scale. Fruits were osmotically treated in sucrose syrup with two different concentrations of SO2.

Combined Pulsed Vacuum Osmotic Dehydration and Convective Air-Drying Process of Jambolan Fruits

Foods, 2023
Jambolan (Syzygium cumini) is a native fruit from Asia that has adapted well to the tropical climate of the Amazonian region. However, due to its limited annual availability and high perishability, the jambolan fruit is still underexploited.

NKCC1: A key regulator of glioblastoma progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma (GBM) progression is driven by disrupted chloride cotransporter homeostasis. NKCC1 is highly expressed in stem‐like, astrocytic, and progenitor cells, correlating with earlier recurrence, while overall survival remains unaffected. NKCC1 serves as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target, linking chloride transporter imbalance ...

Experimental Paradigm for the Assessment of the Non-pharmacological Mechanism of Action in Medical Device Classification: The Example of Glycerine as Laxative

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
The evolution of medical devices has led to the introduction of medical devices that include “substances” and which, due to their presentation and sites of application may resemble medicinal products.

Dynamics of osmosis in a porous medium [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2014
We derive from kinetic theory, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics the minimal continuum-level equations governing the flow of a binary, non-electrolytic mixture in an isotropic porous medium with osmotic effects.

Osmotic Pump Drug Delivery Systems—A Comprehensive Review

Pharmaceuticals, 2022
In the last couple of years, novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) have attracted much attention in the food and pharmaceutical industries. NDDS is a broad term that encompasses many dosage forms, one of which is osmotic pumps.

What controls thermo-osmosis? Molecular simulations show the critical role of interfacial hydrodynamics

, 2017
Thermo-osmotic and related thermo-phoretic phenomena can be found in many situations from biology to colloid science, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unexplored.

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.
