Stimulated by state-of-the-art robotic and computer technology, Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) automation aims to scale and seamlessly transfer the human hand movements into more precise and fast movements of the micro manipulator. Piezo-drill cell injection, a novel technique using piezo-driven pipettes with a very small mercury column, has significantly improves the survival rates o...

Affective disorder and arthritis are both common conditions, and drugs form the mainstay of treatment for both illnesses. Despite the large variety of agents used to treat both disorders, toxic interactions between psychotropic and the anti-rheumatic drugs seem uncommon. One combination that has recently attracted some attention is lithium toxicity precipitated by certain non-steroidal anti-inf...

Consumers’ attitude towards hygiene and active lifestyle has created a rapidly increasing market for a wide range of antimicrobial textiles, which in turn has stimulated intensive research and development. As a result, the number of biofunctional textiles with an antimicrobial activity has increased considerably over the last few years. In a near future, biomedical products will perhaps be the ...

The developments of Al and V free, biocompatible Ti-alloy have been the subject researcher in orthopedic joints replacement domain. current article addresses methodology chosen for design, machinability, low-cost surface texturing process a high degree biocompatibility. It is evident that an astonishing increase biocompatibility can be achieved by synchronizing electro-discharge spark energy wi...

Many marine biology studies depend on field work on ships or remote sampling locations where sophisticated sample preservation techniques (e.g., high-pressure freezing) are often limited or unavailable. Our aim was to optimize the ultrastructural preservation of marine invertebrates, especially when working in the field. To achieve chemically-fixed material of the highest quality, we compared t...
