Heart valve disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide with no effective medical therapy and no ideal valve substitute emulating the extremely sophisticated functions of a living heart valve. These functions influence survival and qual

To functionalize the glass surface, the channels in the flow cells were first filled with 0.2 mg ml−1 PLL(20)-g[3.1]-PEG(2)/-PEG(3.4)-biotin(17.5%) (SUSOS AG) then 0.1 mg ml−1 neutravidin and finally with κ-casein (Sigma). Ten minute incubation at room temperatur...
Development of the Theory of Evolution Modern biology is based on several unifying themes, such as the cell theory, genetics and inheritance, Francis Cricks central dogma of information flow, and Darwin and Wallaces theory of evolution by natural selection. In this first 30、unit we will ...
The basic salt mixture was amended with the following different sugars as the sole carbon and energy source to identify the most suitable setup: five hexoses (galactose, glucose, fructose, fucose, rhamnose), two pentoses (arabinose, xylose), a sugar alcohol (mannitol), and a disaccharide (...
Structural complexity provided by the living coral reef framework is the basis of the rich and dynamic biodiversity in coral reefs. In many cases today, th
In addition, this technical plant stem has withstood the impact of a 50 J pendulum with a maximum force of 60 kN (Charpy impact test) without significant damage (notched impact strength >325 kJ m−2, absorbed impact energy >50 J) (unpublished data, by courtesy of T. Speck, University...
- water will flow into the hypertonic liquid Hypotonic (in respect to another liquid) - has a lower solute concentration - water will flow out of hypotonic liquid, into the higher concentrated liquid Isotonic - solute concentration between two liquids are equal ...
