Injectable and biomimetic poly (ethylene glycol) hydrogel systems for in situ therapeutic cell delivery by Cao, Ye

“…FRP (NHDFs) were encapsulated into the gelatin-PEG hydrogel by crosslinking the remaining double bonds of precursor under UV light in situ with high cell viability. In particular, this study proved that a minimum amount of cell-binding motifs (gelatin > 2.3 wt/v %) are required for attachment; and appropriate initial mechanical properties (storage modulus <~100 Pa or mesh size >~150 nm) can accelerate the attachment of cells and improve cell viability. …”

Anchoring charge selective self-assembled monolayers for tin-lead perovskite solar cells by Zhang, Z, Zhu, R, Tang, Y, Su, Z, Hu, S, Zhang, X, Zhang, J, Zhao, J, Xue, Y, Gao, X, Li, G, Pascual, J, Abate, A, Li, M

“…Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have displayed great potential for improving efficiency and stability in p-i-n perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The anchoring of SAMs at the conductiv metal oxide substrates and their interaction with perovskite materials must be rationally tailored to ensure efficient charge carrier extraction and improved quality of the perovskite films. …”

Modeling the Impact of Electrolyte Flow on Heat Management in a Li-Ion Convection Cell by Gao, Weiran, Drake, Javit, Brushett, Fikile R

“…We show, through physics-based electrothermal modeling and dimensional analysis of a single, planar LIB cell, that electrolyte convection can simultaneously draw heat from the cell and suppress heat generation from entropy change, charge-transfer, and ohmic losses, and that the cell temperature rise can be effectively mitigated when heat removal matches or exceeds heat generation. …”

Thermal induced coupling of cell adhesion/deadhesion and migration under HBV replication and EGCG treatment by Li, Xi

“…In the first part of my thesis, TRP was applied as a model system for elucidating the effect of HBV replication on the biophysical responses of HepG2 cells transfected by wild type HBV genome. Moreover, mutant HBV genome is designed to assess the specific activity of the SH3-binding domain of HBx during HBV replication. …”

Evaluating the ecotoxicity of agropesticides and environmental water contaminants using cell-line and zebrafish embryonic assays by Tan, Roy Zi Hao

“…The results showed that the pesticides tested exhibited acute lethality and sublethal effects on the model organisms tested, albeit some to a lesser extent than previously reported findings on single active compounds. Our findings also revealed challenges in using a single broad-spectrum solid-phase extraction method to retain pesticide analytes due to their chemical complexity. …”

Elucidating the size-dependency of in vitro digested polystyrene microplastics on human intestinal cells health and function by Ma, Yiyuan, Koh, Cheryl Jie Yan, Lim, Hong Kit, Shi, Pujiang, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Interestingly, it is found that the 0.1 µm PS-MPs can perturb redox homeostasis in NCM460 but not in Caco-2 cells. Based on the in vitro experimental boundaries and findings, it is concluded that ingested PS-MPs pose little acute cytotoxic harm to human gastrointestinal health.…”
