The potential harmful effect of electromagnetic fields on human health is an important issue that has been widely discussed in the scientific community. The investigation of temperature rise in human body following exposure to electromagnetic fields has been found impractical in many aspects. Therefore, fabrication of the tissue-equivalent liquids (TELs) is required. TELs have been widely employed in specific absorption rate calculations, dosimetry and hyperthermia researches. In this study, two separate head tissue-equivalent liquids (HELs) were prepared for 900 and 1800 MHz frequencies. The conductivity and relative permittivity of the HEL prepared for 900 MHz frequency were found to deviate from The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards at the rates of 6.20 and 2.70 %, whereas the HEL prepared for 1800 MHz applications exhibited 1.83 and 3.22 % deviations from IEEE standards, respectively. This study provides a method for researchers to prepare their own HELs in a practical way.

In this study, we used a three-dimensional airway "organ tissue equivalent" (OTE) model at an air-liquid interface (ALI) to mimic human airways. We investigated the effects of three viruses (Influenza A virus (IAV), Human metapneumovirus (MPV), and Parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) on this model, incorporating various control conditions for data integrity. Our primary objective was to assess gene expression using the NanoString platform in OTE models infected with these viruses at 24- and 72-hour intervals, focusing on 773 specific genes.

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing allow for the design and rapid production of radiographic phantoms for X-ray imaging, including CT. These are used for numerous purposes, such as patient simulation, optimization of imaging procedures and dose levels, system evaluation and quality assurance. However, standard 3D printing polymers do not mimic X-ray attenuation properties of tissues like soft, adipose, lung or bone tissue, and standard materials like liquid water.

In vitro culture and generation of highly specialized goblet cells is still a major challenge in conjunctival 3D in vitro equivalents. A model comprising all physiological factors, including mucus-secreting goblet cells has the potential to act as a new platform for studies on conjunctival diseases. We isolated primary conjunctival epithelial cells and fibroblasts from human biopsies.

The human airways are complex structures with important interactions between cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and the biomechanical microenvironment. A robust, well-differentiated in vitro culture system that accurately models these interactions would provide a useful tool for studying normal and pathological airway biology. Here, we report the development and characterization of a physiologically relevant air-liquid interface (ALI) 3D airway 'organ tissue equivalent' (OTE) model with three novel features: native pulmonary fibroblasts, solubilized lung ECM, and hydrogel substrate with tunable stiffness and porosity.

Article Synopsis
- The study developed a stable 3D gingival tissue equivalent (GTE) using specific cells and materials to overcome issues with uncontrolled collagen gel contraction, which limits its use in research and clinical settings.
- Genipin, combined with cytochalasin D, significantly reduced contraction of the GTE while preserving cell viability and maintaining normal epithelial structure akin to natural gingiva.
- This GTE model is valuable for researching periodontal and oral mucosa diseases, highlighting genipin's potential as a crosslinker in oral tissue engineering.
