Article Title: Structural Characterization and In Vivo Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Fucoidan from Cystoseira crinita (Desf.) Borry

doi: 10.3390/md20110714

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of a single dose of fucoidan from C. crinita (25 and 50 mg/kg bw) on serum levels of IL-10 in rats with LPS-induced systemic inflammation.

Article Snippet: The tests were performed using the Rat IL-6 ELISA KIT of Diaclone (CEDEX—Besançon, Franche-Comté, France), Rat TNF-α ELISA KIT of Diaclone (CEDEX—Besançon, Franche-Comté, France), Rat IL-1β ELISA KIT of Diaclone (CEDEX—Besançon, Franche-Comté, France), and Rat IL-10 ELISA KIT of Diaclone (CEDEX—Besançon, Franche-Comté, France), strictly following the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Article Title: Graph Theoretical Design of Biomimetic Aramid Nanofiber Nanocomposites as Insulation Coatings for Implantable Bioelectronics

doi: 10.1101/2020.12.28.424604

Figure Lengend Snippet: Blood compatibility of the insulation materials. (A) and (C). SEM morphology images of the platelets adhering to the ANF/epoxy nanocomposite. (B) and (D) SEM morphology images of the platelets adhering to the Parylene C film. (E) The average number of the adhered platelets onto the substrates from platelet-rich plasma estimated by 5 SEM images. (F) The generated Platelet Factor (PF-4) and thrombin–antithrombin (TAT) of the insulation substrates with 2 h blood incubation. The normal whole blood without exposure to insulation materials was applied as the control group. Values are expressed as means ± SD, n = 3.

Article Snippet: Platelet Factor 4 (PF-4) ELISA kits were purchased from Cusabio Biotech Co., Ltd, China; the thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT) ELISA kit, Enzygnost TAT micro, was purchased from Assay Pro, USA.
