UNLABELLED We provide evidence to show that the standard reactant concentrations used in tissue engineering to cross-link collagen-based scaffolds are up to 100 times higher than required for mechanical integrity in service, and stability against degradation in an aqueous environment. We demonstrate this with a detailed and systematic study by comparing scaffolds made from (a) collagen from two...

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is highly prevalent in many populations , resulting in considerable morbidity and socioeconomic costs. 1 Inflammation in AR is mainly characterised by inflam-matory response with eosinophil recruitment and activation in nasal mucosa. 2 Although the pathophysiology of allergic diseases has been widely studied, effective primary prevention treatments are not available. Prev...

When decalcified lyophilised bone matrix (Urist, Silverman, Biiring, Dubuc and Rosenberg 1967) is implanted intramuscularly in other animals of the same species, new cartilage, bone and bone marrow appear. The sequence of events leading to this induction and its main features were described in detail by Urist and his co-workers (Urist and Dowell 1968; Urist, Dowell, Hay and Strates 1968: Thomps...

Choline is a conditionally essential nutrient required by the human body for synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and the phospholipids phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho), lysophosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin (SM) and plasmalogen. It also undergoes irreversible oxidation to form betaine, a major source of methyl groups. Betaine is excreted by human infants in large quantities (up to 1 mo...

Lipids were extracted from human blood plasma using suband supercritical fluids. An extraction plant was specifically designed to allow the treatment of plasma with compressed propane, dimethyl ether (DME) and nitrous oxide (N2O) as solvents. Experiments were performed using suband supercritical gases as mild solvents to remove the lipid fraction without denaturing valuable proteins or affectin...
