The establishment of diseased human whole organ model by normothermic machine perfusion technique: Principle of concept.

Background: The global incidence of liver diseases is rising, yet there remains a dearth of precise research models to mimic these diseases. The use of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) to study diseased livers recovered from liver transplantation (LT) recipients presents a promising avenue. Accordingly, we have developed a machine perfusion system tailored specifically for the human whole diseased livers and present our experience from the NMP of diseased livers.

Strong Metal-Support Interaction for 2D Materials: Application in Noble Metal/TiB Heterointerfaces and their Enhanced Catalytic Performance for Formic Acid Dehydrogenation.

Strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) is a phenomenon commonly observed on heterogeneous catalysts. Here, direct evidence of SMSI between noble metal and 2D TiB supports is reported. The temperature-induced TiB overlayers encapsulate the metal nanoparticles, resulting in core-shell nanostructures that are sintering-resistant with metal loadings as high as 12.
