Isolation and Characterization of Small Extracellular Vesicles from Porcine Blood Plasma, Cerebrospinal Fluid, and Seminal Plasma

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a highly attractive subject of biomedical research as possible carriers of nucleic acid and protein biomarkers.EVs released to body fluids enable indirect access to inner organs by so-called “liquid biopsies”.Obtaining a high-quality EV sample with minimum contaminants is crucial for proteomic analyses u

A randomized controlled trial of a team science intervention to enhance collaboration readiness and behavior among early career scholars in the Clinical and Translational Science Award network

Abstract Introduction: Despite the central importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration in the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) network and the implementation of various programs designed to enhance collaboration, rigorous evidence for the efficacy of these approaches is lacking.We conducted a novel randomized controlled trial (RCT

Thermomechanical analysis for the theoretical optimization of W/Cu monoblocks with functionally graded interlayer

In fusion devices, plasma-facing components (PFCs) play a critical role in withstanding severe thermal conditions resulting from cyclic high heat flux (HHF) loads.The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) and next-generation fusion devices are expected to employ actively cooled tungsten/copper (W/Cu) monoblocks as divertor targets
