A modular and flexible open source cell incubator system for mobile and stationary use.

Culturing living cells requires the maintenance of physiological conditions for extended periods of time. Here, we introduce a versatile and affordable incubation system, addressing the limitations of traditional incubation systems. Conventionally, stationary cell incubators maintain constant temperature and gas levels for cell culturing.

Testing a biexponential kinetic model for the heterogeneous isotopic exchange of phosphate ions on several types of soil.

In this study, a new kinetic equation was applied for the heterogeneous isotopic exchange of phosphate ions on soil. Phosphate sorption on chernozem, marshy meadow and meadow soil was studied by P-32 heterogeneous isotopic exchange in steady-state. The soil samples were incubated with 5 different amounts of KHPO for 1, 3, 13, 10, 12 and 22 weeks.

Impact of microchannel width on axons for brain-on-chip applications.

Technologies for axon guidance for disease models and bottom up investigations are increasingly being used in neuroscience research. One of the most prevalent patterning methods is using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microstructures due to compatibility with microscopy and electrophysiology which enables systematic tracking of axon development with precision and efficiency. Previous investigations of these guidance platforms have noted axons tend to follow edges and avoid sharp turns; however, the specific impact of spatial constraints remains only partially explored.

The genome sequence of the Hungarian meadow viper, (Méhely, 1893).

We present a genome assembly from an individual female (the Hungarian meadow viper; Chordata; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Viperidae). The genome sequence is 1,625.0 megabases in span.
