Delivered cost of switchgrass pellets transported from depots to a biorefinery in the Piedmont, USA
Abstract The southeast region of the USA has the potential to be a significant producer of biobased products; however, research is needed to demonstrate the most cost‐effective feedstock delivery system. This study considers a distributed network of five pellet depots to supply feedstock (i.e., switchgrass pellets) for the operation of a hypothetical ...

Exploring Multi‐Organ Crosstalk via the TissUse HUMIMIC Chip System: Lessons Learnt So Far
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) in vitro cell culture models have revolutionized biomedical research by mimicking the complex 3D in vivo environment in the human body. Different types of 3D models have been established, including heterotypic systems such as, organ‐on‐a‐chips which have been further developed into multiorgan‐on‐chip systems that ...
