Means±SEM. <i>n</i>=29 dendrites for vector only (shVec), 28 for shRNA of IL-10 receptor α #1 (shRNA#1), 26 for shRNA of IL-10 receptor α #2 (shRNA#2), 29 for the application of microglia only, 30 for microglia with shRNA#1, 26 for microglia with shRNA#2, 29 for the application of recombinant IL-10 (5 ng/ml) only, 30 for IL-10 with shRNA#1, 27 for IL-10 with shRNA#2. …”

Polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes: effect of the internal liquid and the addition of clay by Rodholfo da Silva Barbosa Ferreira (6721565)

“…The membranes were characterized by contact angle (flat membrane), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and flow measurements. By means of the contact angle measurements it was seen that the presence of clay favored an increase the hydrophilicity of the membranes. …”

Acss2/Cbp/HIF-2α regulates HCT116 tumor cell properties. by Joseph A. Garcia (7865855)

“…Cells were exposed to control (21% O₂, 25 mM glucose), hypoxic (1% O₂), or low glucose (1 mM) conditions, or were supplemented with acetate (5 mM) (n = 8/treatment/day). Comparison of samples within a given condition on the day of interest for each experiment (colony formation, cell migration, cell invasion) was performed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test using control shRNA knockdown/control rescue as reference with decreased samples noted (*, P<0.05). …”

Gadolinium-free Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Liver via an Oatp1-Targeted Manganese(III) Porphyrin by Nivin N. Nyström (13118188)

“…Controversy surrounding gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) has rendered their continued utility highly contentious, but the liver-specific GBCA Gd­(III) ethoxybenzyl-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (Gd­(III)-EOB-DTPA) remains in use because it provides unique diagnostic information that could not be obtained by any other means. To address the need for an alternate liver-specific MRI probe, we synthesized Mn­(III) 20-(4-ethoxyphenyl) porphyrin-5,10,15-tricarboxylate (Mn­(III)­TriCP-PhOEt), which exhibited significantly higher <i>r</i>₁ relaxivity than Gd­(III)-EOB-DTPA in vitro, while also targeting hepatocyte-specific organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1 (Oatp1) channels as a marker of viability. …”

Polyampholyte−Surfactant Film Tuning in Reverse Microemulsions by Mabya Fechner (1943278)

“…Additionally, the required amount of surfactant to establish a clear w/o microemulsion depends on the pH value, which means the hydrophobicity of the copolymers. Conductivity measurements show that droplet−droplet interactions in the w/o microemulsion are decreased at acidic but increased at alkaline pH in the presence of the copolymers. …”
