Applications of 3D printing in bioprocessing engineering by Ren, S

“…An oblate spheroid of dimensions 1.20 x 1.60 x 1.60 mm, paired with a 60° angle 2mm distributor in the bioreactor, was selected due to its favourable combination of reduced wall shear stress (lower of 0.2 pascal) and enhanced solid-liquid mass transfer (with Sherwood numbers for oxygen and glucose around 450 and 1300, respectively).The chapter concludes the superiority of the 3D printed model in facilitating rapid cell culture and managing complex flows, making it applicable in both laboratory and industrial settings.…”

Weird gene in a weird mammal: comparative and functional analysis of the highly divergent sand rat Pdx1 gene by Dai, Y

“…I conclude that the highly divergent sand rat PDX1 has likely lost conserved functional residues and has significantly reduced ability to initiate proper biological response to glucose stimulation in a rat cell environment. At the same time, results in Chapter 3 show the presence of gerbil-specific residues with specific function, indicating possible compensation by natural selection.…”
