A 3-layer microfluidic device is developed using an inexpensive and readily accessible printer with commercially available printing material, polylactic acid.In addition, to serve as a semi-permeable membrane in microfluidic chip, chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) membrane was prepared using an electrospinning process.Electrospun membrane was Box
Oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP)-related proteins VOLUME GEL (ORPs) 5 and 8 have been shown to deplete the lipid phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) at sites of membrane contact between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and plasma membrane (PM).This is believed to be caused by transport of PI4P from the PM to the ER, where PI4P is degraded by an E
Introduction: Digital ulcers represent a current public health issue, due to the relevant difficulties in their management and their tendency to become chronic, non-healing lesions.We present an observational study of 28 patients referred to our Wound Care Service, focused on multidisciplinary and dermatological management.Objectives: Our case seri
The present paper is concerned with the analysis of a ceramic matrix composite, more specifically the plain weave textile Oven Wall Fixing Cap fabric composite made of basalt fibers embedded into the pyrolyzed polysiloxane matrix.Attention is paid to the determination of effective elastic properties of the yarn via homogenization based on the Mori-
Peanut diseases seriously threaten peanut production, creating disease-resistant materials via interspecific hybridization is an effective way to deal with this problem.In this study, the embryo of an interspecific F1 hybrid was obtained by crossing the Silihong (Slh) cultivar with Arachis duranensis (ZW55), a diploid wild species.Seedlings were ge
