Lactate concentration in physiological fluids is an indicator of the energy production under anaerobic conditions of the whole organism [1]. Normal value for lactate level in blood ranges from 0.5 – 2.5 mM. Blood lactate values exceeding 7-8 mM are sometim ...
Protein oxidation mechanisms result in a wide array of modifications, from backbone cleavage or protein crosslinking to more subtle modifications such as side chain oxidations. Protein oxidation occurs as part of normal regulatory processes, as a defence m ...
Background and Objectives Microparticles (MPs) are small phospholipid vesicles of less than 1 mu m, shed in blood flow by various cell types. These MPs are involved in several biological processes and diseases. MPs have also been detected in blood products ...
There are many elements in plasma that can act as surrogate markers of the physiological well-being of a mouse, thus making the collection of blood and plasma a general technique with many applications in mouse phenotyping. For example, the presence of cer ...
This paper describes how specimens of nervous tissue can be prepared for successful imaging in X-ray Micro Computed Tomography (μCT), and how this method can be used to study the integration of nervous tissue into a polymeric scaffold. The sample preparati ...
Among numerous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, perfusion MRI provides insight into the passage of blood through the brain's vascular network non-invasively. Studying disease models and transgenic mice would intrinsically help understanding the ...

The availability of stored red blood cells (RBCs) for transfusion remains an important aspect of the treatment of polytrauma, acute anemia or major bleedings. RBCs are prepared by blood banks from whole blood donations and stored in the cold in additive so ...
A family of graft copolymers that can sterically inhibit interactions between biological surfaces was developed. These copolymers contained phenylboronic acid (PBA) groups as saccharide-binding moieties on a poly-(L-lysine) backbone and poly(ethylene glyco ...
In this note, we consider some issues relevant for the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics to biomedical vascular investigations. More precisely, models for blood and vessel walls are briefly addressed together with some preliminary results in the ...
The graft copolymer poly(L-lysine)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) and its RGD- and RDG-functionalized derivs. (PLL-g-PEG/PEG-peptide) were assembled from aq. solns. on titanium (oxide) surfaces. The polymers were characterized by NMR in order to d ...
