Blood vessels transport blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients. Vascular diseases such as
atherosclerosis may result in obstruction of blood vessels and tissue ischemia. These …

A common goal in tissue engineering is to attain the ability to tailor specific cell–scaffold
interactions and thereby gain control over cell behavior. The tunable nature of protein-…

BACKGROUND: Traditional materials used as in vitro cell culture substrates are rigid and
flat surfaces that lack the exquisite nano- and micro-scale features of the in vivo extracellular …

In vitro tissue engineering enables the fabrication of functional tissues for tissue replacement.
In addition, it allows us to build useful physiological and pathological models for …

As our knowledge of cancer metabolism has increased, it has become apparent that cancer
metabolic processes are extremely heterogeneous. The reasons behind this heterogeneity …

The performance of a new thin‐film Lu 2 O 3 :Eu scintillator for single‐cell radionuclide
imaging is investigated. Imaging the metabolic properties of heterogeneous cell populations in …

Skeletal muscle function, which is essential in the human body, can be lost due to injury,
trauma, or diseases such as muscular dystrophy, prompting the need for in vitro models of …

Introduction: Glucose utilization and lactate release are 2 important indicators of cancer
metabolism. Most tumors consume glucose and release lactate at a higher rate than normal …

Fully covalently connected polymer−clay nanocomposites have been prepared by growing
the polymer chains from initiator sites on the lamellae of a zirconium phosphonate clay. The …

The radiotracer 3′-deoxy-3′- 18 F-fluorothymidine ( 18 F-FLT) is commonly used to
measure cell proliferation in vivo. As a marker of cell proliferation, 18 F-FLT is expected to be …
