Bats constitute one of the most numerous mammalian species. Bats have a wide range of dietary habits and include carnivorous, haematophagous, insectivorous, frugivorous and nectivorous species. The salivary glands of these species have been of particular research interest due to their structural variability among chiropterans with different types of diets.

Objectives: The CARMAT total artificial heart (TAH) is an implantable, electro-hydraulically driven, pulsatile flow device with four bioprosthetic valves. Its blood-pumping surfaces consist of processed bioprosthetic pericardial tissue and expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE), potentially allowing for the reduction of anti-coagulation. This pre-clinical study assessed the in vitro haemocompatibility of these surfaces.

The effects of Quercus infectoria (family Fagaceae) nutgalls on cell surface properties of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) were investigated with an assay of microbial adhesion to hydrocarbon. The surface of bacterial cells treated with Q. infectoria exhibited a higher level of cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) toward toluene than did the surface of untreated cells.

In patients after extensive burn injury the lack of split thickness skin graft donor sites, and consecutive delay in wound closure are critical factors of morbidity and mortality. In addition limited functional and aesthetic results after transplantation of split thickness skin grafts present a socioeconomic problem. For improved wound closure the aim of this study was the development of a one stage technique for the establishment of a multi layer composite graft, existing of a collagen-GAG-matrix with silicon layer of a two layer synthetic dermal equivalent (DE) with integrated fibroblasts, and ceratinocytes.
