Plant signalling: the opportunities and dangers of chemical communication.
The notion of chemical communication between plants and other organisms has gone from being viewed as a fringe idea to an accepted ecological phenomenon only recently. An Organized Oral Session at the August 2010 Ecological Society of America meeting in Pittsburgh examined the role of plant signalling both within and between plants, with speakers addressing the remarkably wide array of effects ...
متن کامل3d Cell Culture Using Monodisperse Peptide Hydrogel Beads
We describe a three-dimensional (3D) cell culture system using monodisperse peptide hydrogel beads. We utilized a self-assembling peptide hydrogel to provide cells in vivo-like microenvironment. We succeeded in encapsulating endothelial cells within the hydrogels by using a 3D microfluidic axisymmetric flow-focusing device (AFFD), and showed the encapsulated endothelial cells were viable and we...
متن کاملReview: Chitosan Based Hydrogel Polymeric Beads – as Drug Delivery System
Chitosan obtained by alkaline deacetylation of chitin is a non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable natural polymer. Chitosan-based hydrogel polymeric beads have been extensively studied as microor nano-particulate carriers in the pharmaceutical and medical fields, where they have shown promise for drug delivery as a result of their controlled and sustained release properties, as well as bio...
متن کاملChemical signalling in mice.
Odours play a critical role in the behaviour and physiology of many species. For mice and probably many other species, including humans, an individual's olfactory identity (its odourtype) is coded in part by a pattern of volatile compounds that is regulated by genes in the major histocompatibility complex, a string of linked genes that is intimately involved in immune function. The mouse olfact...
متن کاملTemperature Effect on Swelling Properties of Commercial Polyacrylic Acid Hydrogel Beads
Due to the fact that many application processes take place at different temperature, better examining and understanding of swelling properties as a function of temperature is essential for such application. The temperature effect on the swelling properties of commercial polyacrylic acid (PAA) hydrogel beads was investigated as a function of time and temperature. Gel bead size, swelling equilibr...
