However, viability and integrity of the excised tissue are important issues to consider.
The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of the polymer (SMA) on the viability and integrity of rat oocytes in vitro.
Driven by concerns over the long-term viability and integrity of their communities people around the world initiate transitions toward sustainability on various levels of society.
In conclusion, we have developed a robust, fast and reproducible colorimetric tool that can verify and warrant viability and integrity of an engineered tissue/organ prior to transplantation.
For some applications, electromagnets might be used resulting in Joule heating, which can be detrimental to cellular viability and integrity of a microfluidic system.
Inhibition of microglia activation, for example, as recently shown in vitro and in vivo using minocycline, may protect the brain after ischemic stroke by improving BBB viability and integrity [64].
Percentages of motility, plasma membrane integrity, viability and acrosome integrity were higher (P < 0.05) in red fowl extender at 0, 2 and 4 h of incubation post-thaw.
Spring was the best season for sperm parameters viz; volume, motility, plasma membrane integrity, viability and acrosomal integrity (P < 0.05), however a remarkable sperm production was noticed all over the year.
For this purpose, semen from eight mature cocks were collected, initially evaluated (percent sperm motility, volume and concentration), pooled, assessed for motility, plasma membrane integrity, viability and acrosome integrity, and divided into six aliquots for dilution (1 5 °C7 °C) in Beltsville poultry, red fowl extender, Lake, EK, Tselutin poultry and chicken semen extenders.
Smears were examined at 1000× under bright field and 200 spermatozoa per male were examined to evaluate sperm viability, morphology, and integrity of the acrosome.
"Bacterial populations in both batch and continuous culture are much more heterogeneous than is normally assumed, and such cultures may consist of several types of subpopulations simultaneously differing in viability, activity and integrity of the cells".
