In addition to mechanical stimuli commonly arising in tissue engineering context, electrical stimulation or even combined approaches incorporating electrical/mechanical cues need to be provided in vitro for obtaining an appropriate functionality of engineered tissue.
Critically, glial-appropriate functionality of these in vitro human astrocytes was further demonstrated.
This study shows that the PDI can be controlled by selecting a monomer with appropriate functionality as the starting block of the block copolymer to control the rate of propagation, Rp, as an alternative of using additives to change the reactivity of the catalyst.
Surface properties have been altered to meet the requirements of specific applications by introducing the appropriate functionalities through the use of either acetic acid or ethyl acetate.
The reasons for capturing module level cooperation rather than considering the interactions between individual genes were as follows: (1) a gene module (or corresponding 'gene set') is a more appropriate representation of the functionality of the system, which occurs as a series of interactions between elements.
To facilitate this conjugation an alteration of the molecular structure of the hapten was necessary to provide the appropriate functionality for subsequent additions.
This approach is very convenient since appropriate functionality can be easily applied by replacement of the citrate.
These TCL procedures provide the appropriate functionality when a node dispatches a send_tree_message.
The RAFT technique allows an unprecedented latitude in the synthesis of water soluble or amphiphilic architectures with precise dimensions and appropriate functionality for attachment and targeted delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents.
Given such challenges, establishment of good infection control practices are believed to require a broad spectrum of interventions which address the availability and use of appropriate technologies, clear procedural guidelines and functionality of the health system [ 25- 27].
