Determining the feasibility of a full-scale randomised controlled trial evaluating rehabilitation for people after acute patellar dislocation by Forde, C

“…This thesis aimed to determine if conducting this full-scale RCT was feasible.</p> <p>First, supervised (four to six physiotherapy sessions of tailored advice and exercise) and self-managed (one physiotherapy session that enabled self-management) rehabilitation interventions were developed, drawing on established intervention development approaches and frameworks.…”

Materials approaches for next-generation encapsulated cell therapies by Krishnan, Siddharth R., Langer, Robert, Anderson, Daniel G.

“…However, attack from the host immune system represents a major challenge, requiring chronic immunosuppression to enable long-lived cell transplantation in vivo. Encapsulating cells in engineered biomaterials capable of excluding components of the host immune system while allowing for the transport of therapeutic proteins, oxygen, nutrients, metabolites, and waste products represents a potential solution. …”

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. …”

Externally Tunable, Low Power Electrostatic Control of Cell Adhesion with Nanometric High‐k Dielectric Films by Leon, Victor J., Blanc, Baptiste, Sonnert, Sophia D., Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…High performance dielectrics, HfO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and SiO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, enables a change in the ζ polarity and magnitude over large, 100 mV, ranges by applying ≈1 V across the dielectrics with ≈1nW power draw. Freshwater Chlorella vulgaris and saltwater Nannochloropsis oculata, which have a negative ζ, are used as model cells. …”
