Lyophilized Synthetic Platelets: In Vitro Characterization and in Vivo Evaluation in Mouse Thrombocytopenia Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platelet transfusions to treat bleeding complications use donor‐derived platelets stored at room‐temperature, that have a shelf‐life of only 5–7 days due to bacterial contamination risks. Cold‐stored and freeze‐dried platelets are being investigated for extending shelf‐life, but these still have the inherent challenge of donor‐dependency.

The critical layer during transition of the spiral Poiseuille flow in an annular gap

open access: yes, 2017
Subject of this paper falls under the broad heading of the propagation of disturbances causing transition in a fully developed spiral annular flow. The problem is approached through reformulation of the linearised equations of motion governing small ...

Conditional stability of particle alignment in finite-Reynolds-number channel flow

open access: yes, 2018
Finite-size neutrally buoyant particles in a channel flow are known to accumulate at specific equilibrium positions or spots in the channel cross-section if the flow inertia is finite at the particle scale.

Multiscale Architecture and Mechanics of the Cell Nucleus: Implications for Disease, Bioengineering and Nanomedicine

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Nuclear mechanical properties are inherently scale‐dependent, arising from a hierarchical architecture that spans DNA, chromatin, the nuclear envelope, and condensates. Experimental techniques and theoretical models are integrated into a cohesive multiscale framework linking nanoscale structural features to organelle‐level mechanical behavior.

Local Chemical Gradients in a Mammalian Cortex Measured In Vivo With a Silicon Nanodialysis Mass Spectrometry Platform

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Fluorescence image of the coronal slice of mouse brain where multiple neurochemicals have been measured in vivo with a nanodialysis platform coupled to CE‐MS to reveal strong millimeter‐scale spatial chemical gradients. Formation and maintenance of such local chemical compartments in the otherwise diffusion‐homogeneous cortex indicates strong ...

Advanced Multiscale Modeling for Revealing Anomalous Fluid Transport Induced by Confinement Interfacial Layer Reconstruction in Sub‐10 nm Space

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrating experimental insights with molecular dynamics simulations, we establish an advanced mathematical model for fluids confined in sub‐10‐nm channels, enabling quantitative prediction of interfacial layer thickness and viscosity by accounting for channel material, temperature, and fluid properties.
