NEEDLE PENETRATION TEST - QUALIFYING EXAMINATION OF 3D PRINTABLE SILICONES FOR VASCULAR MODELS IN SURGICAL PRACTICE

Needle penetration test - qualifying examination of 3D printable silicones for vascular models in surgical practice

Abstract Background During cardiogenic shock blood circulation is minimal in the human body and does not suffice to survive.The extracorporeal life support system (ECLS) acts as a miniature heart-lung-machine that can be temporarily implanted over major vessels e.g.at the groin of the patient to bridge cardiogenic shock.To perform this procedure in

Optical anisotropy of CsPbBr3 perovskite nanoplatelets

Abstract The two-dimensional CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets have a quantum well electronic structure with a band gap tunable with sample thicknesses in discreet steps based upon the number of monolayers.The polarized optical properties of CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets are studied using fluorescence anisotropy Karate Kid and polarized transient absorption spectrosco

Opa1 relies on cristae preservation and ATP synthase to curtail reactive oxygen species accumulation in mitochondria

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a common product of active mitochondrial respiration Puzzle Wooden Plaque carried in mitochondrial cristae, but whether cristae shape influences ROS levels is unclear.Here we report that the mitochondrial fusion and cristae shape protein Opa1 requires mitochondrial ATP synthase oligomers to reduce ROS accumulation.
