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

“…While evaluated against the criterion for tissue engineered heart valve (TEHV), S-3 and S-4 among interlaced scaffolds/compositions not only matched mechanically but also showed high degradation resistance which potentially made them as '<b>close-fit</b>' candidates. Findings from this thesis indicated that collagen/HA interlaced scaffolds have the potential to fill in the niche for designing an ideal TEHV. …”

The effects of exercise, heat-induced hypo-hydration and rehydration on blood–brain-barrier permeability, corticospinal and peripheral excitability by Uddin, N, Scott, J, Nixon, J, Patterson, SD, Kidgell, D, Pearce, AJ, Waldron, M, Tallent, J

Essays on blood supply management by Senga, Juan Ramon Liboro

“…The results show that more mature blood banks have more strategies available at their disposal when it comes to trying to maintain fill-rates. We also observe that the dynamic donation rate strategy results in lower fill-rates during disasters when the fill-rate is low despite being able to meet donation targets, and that multiple waves with short lead times exacerbate this effect. …”

Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…</p> <p>Using a range of complementary techniques, this thesis aims to elucidate protein conformational changes as the first step in signal transduction in several cryptochrome species finding similar changes in the same loop regions across multiple proteins, tackled the question whether a functional dimer might exist in the context of magnetoreception and found two important residues involved in dimerisation, and lastly used the finding that this dimerisation process is light-induced to start investigating the interaction surfaces in these dimeric structures.…”
