Front Cover In article number 2201477, Lammertyn and co-workers developed FLUIDOT, a modular microfluidic platform in which microwells, optical tweezers, an interchangeable cell-retrieval system are combined to enable in-depth screening specific retrieval of single cells. They demonstrated the versatility FLUIDOT by implementing applications drug tolerance antibody mining. The cover was designe...

in this study, a set of experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of edta-grafted iron oxide nanoparticles exposure on agronomic traits of sunflower (helianthus annuus) plants. the experiment was implemented by applying nano-fe3o4-edta and fe-edta fertilizers applied through spray or soil amendment. a variety of parameters including aerial organ biomass, number of leaves, plant he...

context stem cells have the potential to generate a renewable source of cells for regenerative medicine due to their ability to self-renew and differentiate to various functional cell types of the adult organism. the extracellular microenvironment plays a pivotal role in controlling stem cell fate responses. therefore, identification of appropriate environmental stimuli that supports cellular p...

Cationic peptides participate in many critical events in the body. Their importance in gene regulation, host defense, and many other processes has made them ideal targets to synthetically mimic. Over the years, a multitude of polycations have been synthesized, but a synthetic polycation that is biocompatible has yet to be realized. We created a synthesis platform that has resulted in a syntheti...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The effect of biocompatible peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions on PD-related peritonitis is unclear. This study sought to evaluate the relationship between use of biocompatible solutions and the probability of occurrence or clinical outcomes of peritonitis. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The study included all incident Australian patients receiving PD ...
