Article Abstract
UK Biobank required a cryogenic facility to store, in vapour phase, a minimum of 5 000 000 1.2 ml capacity micro-tubes held in racks of 96 tubes below -180 degrees C for a 20 year period. The archive would be housed in a 900 m(2) industrial unit remote from the main laboratory area that would be generally unmanned and would require a complete cryogenic infrastructure. A commercial supplier was commissioned to provide a complete system including design, project management, supply and installation of all the cryogenic storage requirement including bulk tank, super insulated vacuum lines, Taylor Wharton LABS80K high capacity long-term vapour phase storage vessels with inventory control systems and all the local and remote software. The large-scale storage vessels were selected to give a high storage density, temperature stability and storage in vapour phase.

Leaves constitute a vital bottleneck in whole-plant water transport, and their water strategies are key determinants of plant competition and productivity. Nonetheless, our knowledge of leaf water strategies predominantly stems from single perspectives (i.e.

Fragrances are indispensable additives in consumer products including foods, cosmetics, and tobacco products. However, their inherent instability leads to rapid quality degradation and performance loss, driving the urgent need for controlled-release systems to stabilize fragrance performance. In this work, cellulose nanofibers (CNF) were used to prepare CNF aerogel-like gels (CA) and carbonized CNF aerogels (C-CA) through freeze-drying and high-temperature carbonization.

Phase-shift droplets undergoing acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV) offer a promising approach for ultrasound-mediated drug delivery, enabling the spatiotemporally controlled release of therapeutic payloads. A comprehensive understanding of their behavior, through both optical and acoustic methods, is essential for optimizing the therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we investigated the effects of driving pressure, pulse duration, and bulk boiling point of perfluorocarbon droplets on ADV dynamics, payload release, and acoustic emissions.

Background: The surgical management of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has considerably evolved through recent years. Nonetheless, benefits and harms of several laser procedures are still to be determined. The study aimed to report perioperative and early functional results of patients treated with anatomical photo vaporization of the prostate (aPVP).

Purpose: Pretreatment specimens from patients treated on the I-SPY2 neoadjuvant breast cancer trial were studied to identify prespecified biomarkers associated with response to the regimen of paclitaxel, the anti-type I insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) antibody ganitumab, and metformin (PGM) followed by doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (AC) compared with control therapy (paclitaxel followed by AC). The primary endpoint of this trial is pathologic complete response (pCR).
Experimental Design: One hundred six patients treated with PGM and 119 contemporary controls were evaluated using laser capture microdissection and reverse-phase protein array to evaluate 32 prespecified potential predictive biomarkers in the IGF-1R pathway and 109 additional exploratory endpoints.
