We present a method for microfluidic deposition of patterned genipin and fibronectin on PDMS substrates, allowing extended viability of vascular smooth muscle cell-dense tissues. This tissue fabrication method is combined with previous vascular muscular thin film technology to measure vascular contractility over disease-relevant time courses.

Extended Versions of Green’s Theorem

Green’s Theorem connects the circulation of a vector field around a closed curve with the behavior of the field across the region enclosed by that curve. It provides a way to replace a line integral around a boundary with a double integral over the interior region, making it especially useful in plane geometry, fluid flow, and vector calculus.Although Green’s Theorem is often introduced using simple regions without gaps, it can also be applied to regions made from several simple parts. This...

This work describes two methods for studying organ development, an improved xenotransplantation setup on chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) from avian embryos that allows for vascularization of cultured embryonic organs and organoids and a novel fixed z-direction organ culture method with modified experimental conditions that allows for high-resolution time-lapse confocal imaging.

Consider a system comprising several point masses. The coordinates of the center of mass for this system can be expressed as the summation of the product of each mass and its position vector divided by the total mass: Suppose the point masses are replaced with an extended object with uniformly distributed mass. The coordinates of the center of mass for this object can be obtained by replacing the point mass with the differential mass element and the summation with an integral in the equation...

Extended 78% Hepatectomy in a Mouse Surgical Model
0 Views •
2024
The mouse model of partial 2/3 (66%) hepatectomy is well described in the literature, but more extended hepatectomies mimicking small-for-size syndrome after liver transplantation have seldom been used. We describe an extended 78% hepatectomy procedure in a mouse model that results in approximately 50% postoperative lethality in healthy mice.
FAQs
Successful maintenance depends on balancing nutrient availability with removal of waste as the culture changes over time. Nutrients support continued viability and growth, while waste management helps preserve the controlled conditions required for the specimen. If either factor is not appropriately managed, researchers may be unable to interpret later changes as genuine biological responses.
A longer observation period allows processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, development, disease progression, and treatment responses to unfold. Some effects may emerge only after an initial period, so extended observation can reveal delayed responses and complex changes that a brief culture period would not capture.
Temperature, gas exchange, and sterility help preserve the controlled environment needed for continued specimen viability. Their regulation works alongside nutrient management and waste removal, rather than serving as isolated requirements. Maintaining these conditions throughout the experiment supports more consistent observation of biological changes over time.
The main difference is the length of the experimental window. Short-term culture may capture early cellular or tissue responses, whereas Extended Culture permits researchers to follow changes that develop gradually. This longer period is especially relevant when the outcome depends on continued proliferation, differentiation, disease progression, or delayed treatment effects.
Researchers maintain the culture by regulating nutrient availability, temperature, gas exchange, and sterility while removing waste as conditions change. These factors must be managed across the full observation period rather than only at the start. The approach is intended to preserve viable biological material long enough to examine ongoing processes and later outcomes.
Researchers use this approach when they need to study biological events that require more time to become apparent. Supported applications include examining cell proliferation, differentiation, development, disease progression, and responses to treatments. The extended window can connect early experimental conditions with later biological changes, providing context that brief observations may lack.
