16. Structural and Electrochemical Properties of Functionalized Nanocellulose Materials and Their Biocompatibility
Abstract : Nanocellulose has received considerable interest during the last decade because it is renewable and biodegradable, and has excellent mechanical properties, nanoscale dimensions and wide functionalization possibilities. It is considered to be a unique and versatile platform on which new functional materials can be based. READ MORE

17. Dual roles for hepatic lectin receptors in the clearance of chilled platelets
Abstract : Platelets for transfusion are stored at room temperature because refrigerated platelets are cleared rapidly from circulation. Room temperature storage causes major inconveniences for blood banks and medical risks for recipients. READ MORE

18. Development of Nonlinear Microscopy for Studies of Metabolism and Tissue Engineering
Abstract : Nonlinear microscopy techniques provide abilities for noninvasive and selective imaging of structural and chemical properties of biological systems. These techniques include coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy with the ability to selectively image molecular vibrations, second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy which selectively images fiber structures, and third harmonic generation (THG) microscopy which is sensitive to interfaces between materials with different optical properties.

19. The quality of red blood cells and platelets intended for transfusion : Opportunities for improvements
Abstract : A new, automated technique for collection and instant preparation of blood components has been developed. The device enables the combined collection of red cells (250 mL) and plasma (475 mL). No adverse effects were seen in the donors. The blood components were of good quality. READ MORE

20. Initiation of spleen contraction resulting in natural blood boosting in humans
Abstract : The spleen has been shown to contract in apneic situations in humans as well as in other diving mammals, expelling its stored red blood cell content into circulation. This natural blood boosting may increase the circulating hemoglobin concentration (Hb) by up to 10%, which would enhance the oxygen carrying capacity and likely increase performance. READ MORE
