Processing and Characterization of a Polypropylene Biocomposite Compounded with Maleated and Acrylated Compatibilizers by Brent A. Nerenz, Michael A. Fuqua, Venkata S. Chevali, Chad A. Ulven

“…Formulations containing three different chemical compatibilizers were tested to determine their effectiveness in improving the interfacial adhesion between the fiber surface and PP chains. Maleic anhydride grafted with PP (MA-g-PP) achieved greater improvements in tensile strength but reduced impact strength in comparison to an acrylic-acid-grafted PP compatibilizer (AA-g-PP). …”

Serum Concentration and Chemotactic Activity of E-selectin (CD62E) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease by B. Vainerc, O. H. Nielsen

“…E-selectin (CD62E) is an endothelial specific glycoprotein belonging to the selectin family of adhesion molecules. Because a high expression of this molecule at intestinal mucosal surfaces in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been described earlier, the aim was to assess serum levels of E-selectin (sE-selectin) and to correlate it to disease activity, and further to evaluate its chemotactic properties at physiological concentrations. …”

Simulation of single-species bacterial-biofilm growth using the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg model and the CompuCell3D modeling environment by Nikodem J. Poplawski, Abbas Shirinifard, Maciej Swat, James A. Glazier

“…In our simulations, which generalize the PLHmodel by treating cells as spatially extended, deformable bodies, differentialadhesion between cells, and their competition for a substrate (nutrient), sufficeto produce a fingering instability that generates the finger shapes of biofilms.Our results agree with most features of the PLH model, although our inclu-sion of cell adhesion, which is difficult to implement using other modelingapproaches, results in slightly different patterns. …”

Aging-regulated TUG1 is dispensable for endothelial cell function. by Anna Theresa Gimbel, Susanne Koziarek, Kosta Theodorou, Jana Felicitas Schulz, Laura Stanicek, Veerle Kremer, Tamer Ali, Stefan Günther, Sandeep Kumar, Hanjoong Jo, Norbert Hübner, Lars Maegdefessel, Stefanie Dimmeler, Sebastiaan van Heesch, Reinier A Boon

“…We therefore investigated if, and how, TUG1 might function in aging ECs, but despite extensive phenotyping found no alterations in basal EC proliferation, apoptosis, barrier function, migration, mitochondrial function, or monocyte adhesion upon TUG1 silencing in vitro. TUG1 knockdown did slightly and significantly decrease cumulative sprout length upon vascular endothelial growth factor A stimulation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), though TUG1-silenced HUVECs displayed no transcriptome-wide mRNA expression changes explaining this effect. …”
