Forced and Natural Convective Drying of Trehalose/Water Thin Films: Implication in the Desiccation Preservation of Mammalian Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Trehalose is believed to offer desiccation protection to mammalian cells by forming stable glassy matrices. The goal of the current study was to explore the desiccation kinetics of thin films ...
Thermal Therapy in Urologic Systems: A Comparison of Arrhenius and Thermal Isoeffective Dose Models in Predicting Hyperthermic Injury
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Arrhenius and thermal isoeffective dose (TID) models are the two most commonly used models for predicting hyperthermic injury. The TID model is essentially derived from the Arrhenius model, ...
Controlled Vacuum Seeding as a Means of Generating Uniform Cellular Distribution in Electrospun Polycaprolactone (PCL) Scaffolds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A major challenge encountered in using electrospun scaffolds for tissue engineering is the non-uniform cellular distribution in the scaffold with increasing depth under normal passive seeding ...
Supraphysiological Thermal Injury in Dunning AT-1 Prostate Tumor Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To investigate the potential application of thermal therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer, the effects of supraphysiological temperatures (40–70°C) for clinically relevant time periods ...
