Cell spheroids are a widely used Burdock Root model to investigate cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions in a 3D microenvironment in vitro.Most research on cell spheroids has been focused on their response to various stimuli under static conditions.Recently, the effect of flow on cell spheroids has been investigated in the context of tumor invasio
To blockchain or not to blockchain, these are the questions: A structured analysis of blockchain decision schemes
Blockchain technology has garnered significant attention in recent years, prompting researchers, entrepreneurs, and businesses to seek viable ways to validate the application of blockchain within their specific use cases.Blockchain decision schemes (BDSs) can assist in this decision-making process, offering a potentially more cost-effective alterna
Land-use change in oil palm dominated tropical landscapes-An agent-based model to explore ecological and socio-economic trade-offs.
Land-use changes have dramatically transformed tropical landscapes.We describe an ecological-economic land-use change model as an integrated, exploratory tool used to analyze how tropical land-use change affects ecological and socio-economic functions.The model analysis seeks to determine what kind of landscape mosaic can improve the ensemble of ec
Persistence of DNA in carcasses, slime and avian feces may affect interpretation of environmental DNA data.
The prevention of non-indigenous aquatic invasive species spreading into new areas is a goal of many resource managers.New techniques have been developed to survey for species that are difficult to capture with conventional gears that involve the detection of their DNA in water samples (eDNA).This technique is currently used to track the invasion o
Individual identification of inbred medaka based on characteristic melanophore spot patterns on the head
Abstract With disease progression, individual differences appear, even in an animal disease model with genetic homogeneity.Therefore, non-invasive long term observation and individual identification is desirable for late-onset diseases.To this end, the natural markings used in ecological studies are preferable to the external invasive markings used
