Functional improvement of natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains by cell surface molecular engineering by Sara Granuzzo, Monica Rossetto, Lucio Zennaro, Francesca Righetto, Paolo Antoniali, Raffaele Lopreiato

“…Abstract Background Cellular boundaries of microorganisms can be modified by the expression in the cell wall of specific proteins endowed with relevant properties, improving their functional performance. So far, the surface display (SD) technique had been widely employed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but it was limited to few laboratory strains and never explored in sauvage strains, i.e., isolated from natural environment, which are featured by higher levels of genetic variability, leading to peculiar phenotypic traits of possible advantage in biotechnology. …”

Depth-dependent contributions of various vascular zones to cerebral autoregulation and functional hyperemia: An in-silico analysis. by Hadi Esfandi, Mahshad Javidan, Rozalyn M Anderson, Ramin Pashaie

“…However, temporal alterations in capillary diameter contribute moderately to cerebral autoregulation and minimally to functional hyperemia. In addition, hemodynamic analysis shows that while hemodynamics within capillaries remain relatively stable across all cortical depths throughout the entire autoregulation range, significant variability in hemodynamics can be observed within the first few branch orders of precapillary arterioles or transitional zone vessels. …”
