Dry-reagent strips for testing milk pasteurization

LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2003
Biostrips have become more popular for diagnosis of various diseases as well as for testing of different chemical and biochemical parameters. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme naturally present in raw milk, which is used as an indicator for proper milk pasteurization. Nonpasteurized or raw milk contains ALP, which causes intra-abdominal bacterial

Self‐Feeding of Engineered Tissues via Controlled Glucose Release Facilitates Survival and Vascularization of Living Implants

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineering living matter has great clinical potential to deliver functional replacement organs. However, clinical translation remains hampered by the current inability to maintain viability of clinically relevant‐sized constructs. During the pre‐vascular phase, implants rely on nutrient diffusion for survival, which is insufficient at ...

Concordance between semi-quantitative result of the number of leukocytes measured by urine test strip (Multistix 10 SG) and quantitative result obtained by cytology of peritoneal fluid in patients on Peritoneal Dialysis

Nefrología Latinoamericana
Objective: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis is a common complication. Previous studies report an association between the presence of leukocytes in peritoneal fluid (PF) with the use of urine test strips and the cell count in PF; This study seeks to ...

Gold Nanoclusters as Dual Agents for Engineering Tumor Vascular Leakiness and Performing Photothermal Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Many cancer nanotherapeutics, while potent, suffer from the inability to escape from the tumor vasculature, especially in the absence of endothelial permeability. In this work, ultrasmall gold nanoclusters could engineer nanomaterials induced endothelial leakiness (NanoEL) and harness strong NIR induced photothermal characteristics to suppress tumor ...

4D‐Printable Poly(Thio)urethane Photoresins With Reactive Oxygen Species Responsiveness and Anti‐Inflammatory Functionality

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces UV‐curable poly(thio)urethane (PSU) thermosets as 4D printable scaffolds responsive to oxidative stress. PSU networks with 100 wt.% polypropylene glycol (PPG) effectively suppress inflammatory markers in microglial cells to basal values.
