Ammonia-induced calcium phosphate on culture inserts: A novel assay to study functions of osteoclasts comments

by Christina Chen
Osteoclasts play an important role in bone remodelling process1. An in vitro assay that could assess the functions of osteoclasts, is critical for understanding the process of bone resorption and the effectiveness of anti-osteoporotic drugs...

Identification and Characterization of a Freshwater Mussel Adhesive Protein comments

by Eli Sone Angelico Obille
Several adhesives found in nature perform in ways that synthetic adhesives do not yet match. For example, even though many aquatic organisms have adapted to adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments, it remains an engineering challenge to synthesize biocompatible adhesives that are effective in wet conditions...
