Abstract Multicellular tumor spheroids embedded in collagen I matrices are common in vitro systems for the study of solid tumors that reflect the physiological environment and complexities of the in vivo environment.While collagen I environments are physiologically relevant and permissive of cell invasion, studying spheroids in such hydrogels prese
Evaluation of patients with acute kidney injury requires comprehensive assessment that includes a urinalysis, which features both semi-quantitative assessment with a urine dipstick and urine microscopy.This process is labor intensive for clinical laboratories, and availability of excellent welspun spaces double bedsheet automated instruments for ur
BackgroundGrowing evidence emphasizes the importance of xanthophyll carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acids in eye health.However, the beneficial effects of such supplementation have not been thoroughly discussed among adults with high screen exposure.Current trial evidence on lutein bioavailability is contradictory, and the interactions of dietary int
PURPOSE: The hypothesis of association between testicular torsion and hyperactive cremasteric reflex, worsened by cold weather, has not been proved.Thirteen studies in the literature evaluated this issue, with inconclusive results.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the seasonality of testicular torsion in a large subset of patients surgic
We present a microfluidic dielectrophoretic-actuated system old fashioned cut rock candy designed to trap chosen single-cell and form controlled cell aggregates.A novel method is proposed to characterize the efficiency of the dielectrophoretic trapping, considering the flow speed but also the heat generated by the traps as limiting criteria in cell
