Noyes Whitney Model

The Noyes-Whitney model describes the rate at which a solid substance dissolves in a surrounding fluid, making it a foundational concept in pharmaceutical science and clinical drug development. It proposes that dissolution depends on the diffusion of solute through a stagnant boundary layer: the rate increases with surface area, diffusion coefficient, and the concentration gradient between the particle surface and bulk solution, and decreases as the diffusion-layer thickness grows. In clinical formulation, the model helps explain how particle size, agitation, solubility, and dosage-form design influence drug release and dissolution testing. These predictions support comparisons of formulations and assessment of factors that can affect oral drug absorption.

A method for seeding titanium blood-contacting biomaterials with autologous cells and testing biocompatibility is described. This method uses endothelial progenitor cells and titanium tubes, seeded within minutes of surgical implantation into porcine venae cavae. This technique is adaptable to many other implantable biomedical devices.

Here, we present a systematic approach for developing physiologically relevant, sensitive and specific in vivo assays for interpreting variation in human pathology. Transient genetic manipulation via microinjection of WT and mutant human mRNA and morpholino (MO) antisense oligonucleotides harness the tractability of the developing zebrafish embryo to rapidly assay pathogenic mutations, especially, but not exclusively, in the context of human developmental disorders.

Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules. Skeletal Model Simpler two-dimensional representations of chemical compounds are accomplished using skeletal models. The illustration shows only the molecular framework or bonds without explicitly showing the atoms. In this representation, many of the carbon atoms...
