Characterizing mechanical properties of cells is important for understanding many cellular processes, such as cell movement, shape, and growth, as well as adaptation to changing environments.In this study, we explore the mechanical properties of endothelial cells that form the biological barrier lining blood vessels, whose dysfunction leads Bosch K
Many of the tasks being conducted by home healthcare workers are associated with significant complex demands.Each home is a unique work environment with potentially different exposures.The purpose of this study was to investigate the plethora of exposures for home healthcare workers in the United Kingdom.The study was a SOYBEANS EDAMAME cross-secti
In this paper, we compare a multi-round, second-price, sealed-bid bundle auction and a single-item, sequential, second-price, sealed-bid auction for berth slot leasing for vessels (roll-on/roll-off passenger vessels and/or cruise ships) at a public marine terminal.The bundle auction mechanism is designed to maximize port operator profits by auction
Astrocytes are multifunctional glial cells that are essential for brain functioning.Most existing methods to induce astrocytes from stem cells are inefficient, requiring couples of weeks.Here, we designed an alginate hydrogel-based method to realize high-efficiency astrocytic differentiation from human neural stem cells.Comparing to the conventiona
