Abstract 79: Optimizing Vascular Invasion into Hydrogel Scaffolds Using Bioactive Sphingolipids

RESULTS: The ATC provided consistently stable environmental and temperature control throughout extended cultures. Live imaging revealed dynamic endothelia with cells migrating throughout the vessel walls, both downstream (with) and upstream (against) the flow direction. Cell-cell junctions were contiguous, indicating a confluent, healthy endothelium with intact cytoskeletons. The cross-sectiona...

Rodent animal models have been widely used for studying neurologic and toxicological events associated with cocaine abuse. It is known that the mouse is more susceptible to cocaine-induced hepatotoxicity (CIH) than the rat. However, the causes behind this species-dependent sensitivity to cocaine have not been elucidated. In this study, cocaine metabolism in the mouse and rat was characterized t...

Acute otitis media, inflammation of the middle ear, is the most common bacterial infection in children and, as a consequence, is the most common reason for antimicrobial prescription to this age group. There is currently no effective vaccine for the principal pathogen involved, non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi). The most frequently used and widely accepted experimental animal model of ...
