Synthesis, Radiolabeling and Evaluation of a suite of Tracers with <sup>44</sup>Sc for Detecting Extracellular DNA
… under certain stimuli. This structure forms a fibrous network that is able to limit the spread of pathogens and to kill microorganisms. It has also been shown to be present in various pathological processes such as inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and cancer metastasis. Currently, the …

Synthesis and characterization of sugar based low molecular weight gelators
… two decades. These compounds form self-assembled fibrous networks like micelles, cylindrical, sheets, fibers, layers and so on. The fibrous network entraps the solvent and form gel. LMWGs are interesting compounds with many potential applications in material and biomedical sciences.</p> <p>Many …

Effect of microstructure on mechanical behaviour of arterial tissue
… CVDs are a result of atherosclerosis, in which a fibrous cap covered lipid-rich plaque is formed in the arteries. The fibrous cap can rupture, blocking the artery and limiting the flow of blood to vital organs. AAs and ADs manifest as localised dilatations of the aorta, while simultaneously …

Synthesis and Microscopic Characterizations of Virus Nanoparticle-Based Composite Materials
… adhesion, growth, and differentiation. The fibrous network of ECM structures can be mimetic by an electrospinning method. Using this technique, the functionalized plant viruses or ECM proteins have been electrospun with polymers, forming one dimentional (1D) nanofibers. The random …

Non-invasive characterization of bone tissue and modeling of bone at micron and sub-micron levels
… lamella which is formed by a collagen fiber network with fibers aligned in a preferentially oriented direction. We model such a fibrous network computationally using finite element software Abaqus by representing fibers as Timoshenko beams. We generate a random arrangement of fibers by using …

Probing Mitotic Chromosome Structure and Arrangement Using Micromanipulation
… are connected to the spindle, which appears as a fibrous network at the center of the radial array with phase contrast and scanning electron microscopy. When chromosomes are displaced from the spindle during micromanipulation, their connections to the spindle stain for DNA and histone and are …

Liposome-loaded biosynthetic bacterial cellulose hydrogels for wound management applications
… wound management. Their unique properties and 3D fibrous network structure allow for the encapsulation of wound healing agents to enhance the wound healing process. In the present study, biosynthetic bacterial cellulose hydrogels were synthesised by Gluconacetobacter xylinus (ATCC 23770) and …

Binary diamondoid molecular gels
… the resulting suspension forms a percolated network. These resulting gels have elastic moduli of 10^2-10^4Pa at diamondoid concentrations in the 3-7wt% range. With increasing applied stress these gels yield and shear thin. Upon cessation of the applied stress, the gels recover their quiescent …

Interfacial electroactive assemblies: from molecular electronics to biological applications
… of the protein at the planar surfaces showed a fibrous network of adsorbed protein. Oregon Green labelled fibrinogen layers were imaged using fluorescence microscopy at both the planar and nano-cavity surfaces. The effect of electrode potential on the fibrinogen layer was investigated. It was …

Development and characterisation of a heparinised fibrin hydrogel as a delivery vehicle for regenerative medicine
… by the protease thrombin that polymerises into a fibrous network known as fibrin. The present study sought to modify fibrinogen through covalent attachment of heparin to form heparinised fibrin hydrogels. Heparin is known to bind a significant number of growth factors and its anti-coagulative …
