Die Optimierung von Produktionsprozessen steht im Vordergrund jedes Produzenten, vor allem im Hinblick auf den optimalen Erntezeitpunkt. Zur Pflückreife sollen Kirschen als nicht-klimakterische Früchte eine optimale und hochwertige Fruchtqualität aufweisen, eine ausreichende Anzahl an Erntehelfern, Pflückhilfen, Transportkisten, Sortier- und Lagereinrichtungen sowie Absatzwege vorhanden sein. Aus diesem Grund entwickelten Wissenschaftler in der Vergangenheit diverse Reifeindices und Erntemodelle zur Bestimmung des optimalen Erntezeitpunkts von Früchten, erst an Äpfeln, dann für Steinobst.
Small Molecules Enhance Scaffold-Based Bone Grafts via Purinergic Receptor Signaling in Stem Cells
(2018)
The need for bone grafts is high, due to age-related diseases, such as tumor resections, but also accidents, risky sports, and military conflicts. The gold standard for bone grafting is the use of autografts from the iliac crest, but the limited amount of accessible material demands new sources of bone replacement. The use of mesenchymal stem cells or their descendant cells, namely osteoblast, the bone-building cells and endothelial cells for angiogenesis, combined with artificial scaffolds, is a new approach. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be obtained from the patient themselves, or from donors, as they barely cause an immune response in the recipient. However, MSCs never fully differentiate in vitro which might lead to unwanted effects in vivo. Interestingly, purinergic receptors can positively influence the differentiation of both osteoblasts and endothelial cells, using specific artificial ligands. An overview is given on purinergic receptor signaling in the most-needed cell types involved in bone metabolism-namely osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and endothelial cells. Furthermore, different types of scaffolds and their production methods will be elucidated. Finally, recent patents on scaffold materials, as wells as purinergic receptor-influencing molecules which might impact bone grafting, are discussed.
Influence of design of extrusion blow molding (EBM) in terms of extrusion direction set-up and draw ratio as well as process conditions (mold temperature) on storage modulus of high density polyethylene EBM containers was analyzed with dynamic mechanical analysis. All three parameters - mold temperature, flow direction and draw ratio - are statistically significant and lead to relative and absolute evaluation of storage modulus. Furthermore, flow induced changes in crystallinity was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. Obtained data on deformation properties can be employed for more sophisticated finite element simulations with the aim to reach more sustainable extrusion blow molding production.
Die Freiheit in Forschung und Lehre ist zusammen mit der Wissenschaftsfreiheit eines der bürgerlichen Grundrechte in Deutschland. Aber die Forschungsfreiheit kann nicht grenzenlos sein. Industrie wie akademische Institute müssen ihre Entwicklungen dokumentieren. Nur so ist ein Stoff später für die Vermarktung zulassungsfähig und nur so lässt sich belegen, wer die Urheberrechte daran hat.
