The morphological characteristics and the production of biochemical markers were determined for 8 human tumor cell lines grown in artificial capillary culture. Comparisons were made with nude mouse xenografts and conventional monolayer or suspension cultures. Capillary histologies reproduced the features of neoplastic differentiation and glandular formation exhibited by the original human tumors and xenografts. The concentrations of specific biochemical markers, such as carcinoembryonic antigen, aspartate aminotransferase, and immunoglobulin, were higher in the pericellular culture medium in capillary culture. The capillary environment influenced the expression of biochemical heterogeneity by the DLD-1 colon carcinoma cell line and its derivative clones. Spontaneous differentiation of K562 leukemia cells was increased in the capillary system. These results indicate that the artificial capillary is a useful and relevant system for the study of cultured human tumor cells.

Along with the development of miniaturization, integration, and high power of electronic chips in the 5G and artificial intelligence era and their urgent need for technologies enabled to solve high heat flux dissipation in limited space, investigating bioinspired extreme superwettability surfaces with high-efficiency condensation heat transfer (CHT) performance has attracted great interest in academic and industrial communities. Compared with filmwise condensation of flat hydrophilic surfaces featured with continuous liquid films, dropwise condensation of flat hydrophobic surfaces is a more efficient type of energy transport way. However, discrete condensate drops can only shed off the hydrophobic flat surfaces under gravity until their sizes reach the capillary length of liquid, e.

State Key Laboratory of Neurology and Oncology Drug Development, Nanjing, China; Simcere Zaiming Pharmaceutical Co, Ltd., Nanjing, China. Electronic address:

Capillary electrophoresis-sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS) is widely used in the biopharmaceutical industry for monitoring purity and analyzing impurities. The accuracy of the method may be compromised by artificial species resulting from sample preparation or electrophoresis separation due to suboptimal conditions. During non-reduced CE-SDS analysis of a multispecific antibody (msAb), named as multispecific antibody C (msAb-C), a cluster of unexpected peaks was observed after the main peak.

Enabling Fast AI-Driven Inverse Design of a Multifunctional Nanosurface by Parallel Evolution Strategies.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA.

Multifunctional nanosurfaces receive growing attention due to their versatile properties. Capillary force lithography (CFL) has emerged as a simple and economical method for fabricating these surfaces. In recent works, the authors proposed to leverage the evolution strategies (ES) to modify nanosurface characteristics with CFL to achieve specific functionalities such as frictional, optical, and bactericidal properties.
