Air Cell Relocation

Air cell relocation is a specialized avian embryo technique that repositions the egg’s internal air pocket to provide practical access to the developing chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). By creating or shifting the air space beneath a selected shell region, researchers can open an observation window while maintaining conditions needed for embryo survival and CAM development. In cancer research, this preparation supports the implantation and monitoring of tumor cells or tissue grafts in a vascularized, living model. It facilitates studies of tumor growth, angiogenesis, invasion, and responses to experimental treatments, while enabling direct imaging and sampling during disease progression.

Nasal epithelial cells, obtained through superficial scrape biopsy of human volunteers, are expanded and transferred onto tissue culture inserts. Upon reaching confluency, cells are grown at air liquid interface, yielding cultures of ciliated and non-ciliated cells. Differentiated nasal epithelial cell cultures provide viable experimental models for studying the respiratory mucosa.

Air-entraining Agents

2024

Air-entraining agents improve the durability and workability of concrete in climates with frequent freezing and thawing. These agents prevent cracks by introducing small air bubbles into the mix, creating spaces accommodating water expansion when temperatures drop. The air-entraining agents lower the surface tension of water, forming stable, small air bubbles. This method is more effective than having accidental large voids, as the intentional, smaller, and evenly distributed air voids improve...
