Background: Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is gaining increasing use as a wound healing promoter in a variety of clinical settings, including dentistry. Fresh PRP is often used, necessitating daily draws. The present study investigates the possibility of using stored PRP without having to freeze it by storing PRP under variable conditions and assessing growth factor release as a surrogate marker of continued viability.
Methods: Freshly drawn PRP was stored in oxygen permeable and non-oxygen permeable containers under conditions of constant agitation with or without added prostaglandin, intermittent agitation and no agitation, over an 8-day period. Serial platelet counts, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width and platelet-large cell ratio, and collagen-induced aggregometry were undertaken. Once collagen-induced aggregation had gone to completion, the plasma was centrifuged to pellet platelet material and the supernatants separated and frozen for batched analysis of released platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB).
Results: As would be anticipated, platelet counts, percentage aggregation and PDGF-BB levels all reduced over time. Platelet parameters suggested that platelets were more stable in the non-oxygen permeable containers, possibly due to pH drift and a degree of microaggregate formation in the oxygen permeable containers.
Conclusion: Although platelet integrity and PDGF-BB fell over time, the intermittently agitated non-oxygen permeable container appeared to retain better platelet integrity and function, and PDGF-BB release, than other storage conditions, with potential for clinical use for 5-8 days.

This work presents novel magnetic mixed matrix poly(ethersulfone) (PES) membranes that combine the advantages of low-cost common PES polymer and low-cost iron-nickel magnetic alloys. Moreover, the presented magnetic mixed matrix PES membranes were fabricated and used without applying an external magnetic field during either the membrane casting or the separating process. The fabricated magnetic membranes were prepared using the phase inversion technique and N-methylpyrrolidone and N,N-Dimethylformamide solvents mixture with volumetric ratio 1:9 and Lithium chloride as an additive.

Article Synopsis
- Microwell arrays are useful for creating uniform tumor spheroids for cancer drug screening, but traditional culture plates limit oxygen supply, affecting spheroid viability.
- A new device made from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) allows better oxygen flow, resulting in larger and healthier hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) spheroids with improved growth and lower cell death.
- Spheroids grown in PDMS also show increased resistance to the cancer drug doxorubicin and enhanced angiogenesis, making them a better model for studying early-stage HCC and drug testing.
Enzyme-Loaded Nanoreactors Enable the Continuous Regeneration of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide in Artificial Metabolisms.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential coenzyme for numerous biocatalytic pathways. While in nature, NAD is continuously regenerated from NADH by enzymes, all synthetic NAD regeneration strategies require a continuous supply of expensive reagents and generate byproducts, making these strategies unattractive. In contrast, we present an artificial enzyme combination that produces NAD from oxygen and water continuously; no additional organic substrates are required once a minimal amount pyruvate is supplied.

Diabetes is one of the most common metabolic disorders, and is characterized by the inability to secrete/sense insulin and abnormal blood glucose concentration. Many researchers have concentrated their efforts on improving islet transplantation, in particular by fabricating bioartificial pancreatic islets in vitro. One of the critical points for the success of this research direction is the improvement of culture conditions, such as oxygen supply, in the engineering of bioartificial pancreatic islets to ensure their viability and functionality after transplantation.

Hemangioblastomas (HBs) are benign, highly vascular tumors, often characterized by loss of function of the von Hippel-Lindau (vHL) gene. They are the most common central nervous system tumor observed in vHL syndrome. Loss of function of the vHL gene creates a "pseudo-hypoxic" state, causing overactivation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-related pathways.
