Development and characterization of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA) based interlaced scaffolds for tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVS) by Nazir, R

“…The increase in crosslinking density, however, affected the cell affinity because of the engagement of the cell-attachment sites in the crosslinking process. CDCs seeded scaffolds also showed 50 % increase in bending modulus after 28 days of culture. …”

Rigid-strut-containing crown ethers and [2]catenanes for incorporation into metal-organic frameworks by Zhao, Yan-Li, Liu, Lihua, Zhang, Wenyu, Sue, Chi-Hau, Li, Qiaowei, Miljanić, Ognjen Š., Yaghi, Omar M., Stoddart, J. Fraser

“…These novel crown ethers not only retain the characteristics of their parent crown ethers since they can 1) bind cationic guests and 2) serve as templates for making mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), such as catenanes and rotaxanes, but they also present coordination sites to connect with secondary building units (SBUs) in MOFs. …”

Investigating the content and function of stress-induced extracellular vesicles in colorectal cancer by Mason, J

“…I also showed that switched EVs acted in an AREG-independent fashion to reduce tumour cell migration and invasion, potentially reflecting the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition at distant sites during CRC metastasis.</p> <p>My final results chapter focussed on EV-associated microRNA cargo within HCT116 and SW480 cells, as well as within a cohort of patients with rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). …”

Effectiveness of clinician client-centered counseling on knowledge, attitudes and sexual bahaviors of antiretroviral therapy patients in Yola, Nigeria by Martins, Olutayo Folashade

“…Methodology: This study was a three arm randomized single blind clinical trial involving 386 randomly selected and allocated adult HIV patients who were enrolled into Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) at all four comprehensive ART sites in Yola. A clinician client centered training module was developed based on the Information Behavior and Motivation (IBM) Model. …”

Carbon-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures and their photoresponse behaviors by Zhan, Zhaoyao

“…First, there is a builtin electric field at the interfacial area, which helps to separate the bound exciton; then, the hybrid nanostructure bears an extremely high interfacial area which provides countless sites for exciton dlssoclation." According to the understanding on electrons transport in nanoparticle structures, under illumination, the photogenerated electrons repeatedly interact with a distribution of traps as they undertake a random hopping through the nanoparticles. …”

Development of selenization/sulfurization-free CuIn(S,Se)2 for thin film solar cells applications by Wang, Mengxi

“…As mentioned earlier, large CIGS grains will result in films that showed better solar cell performance and one of the reasons is that they have fewer defect sites and recombination centers. As a route to larger grain size, nanoparticles is first synthesized and by encouraging growth in these individual CIGS nanoparticles, micron sized grains can be achieved. …”
