TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology is proposed to build a structured framework to define and measure energy efficiency more precisely, where the whole energy system of a site is represented using a single matrix equation, which expresses the relationship between imported energies and energy drivers.

TL;DR: The aptamer-based biosensor was capable of measuring trace amounts of CK-MB secreted by the cardiac organoids upon drug treatments in a dose-dependent manner, which was in agreement with the beating behavior and cell viability analyses.
Abstract: Continual monitoring of secreted biomarkers from organ-on-a-chip models is desired to understand their responses to drug exposure in a noninvasive manner. To achieve this goal, analytical methods capable of monitoring trace amounts of secreted biomarkers are of particular interest. However, a majority of existing biosensing techniques suffer from limited sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and require large working volumes, especially when cell culture medium is involved, which usually contains a plethora of nonspecific binding proteins and interfering compounds. Hence, novel analytical platforms are needed to provide noninvasive, accurate information on the status of organoids at low working volumes. Here, we report a novel microfluidic aptamer-based electrochemical biosensing platform for monitoring damage to cardiac organoids. The system is scalable, low-cost, and compatible with microfluidic platforms easing its integration with microfluidic bioreactors. To create the creatine kinase (CK)-MB biosenso...

TL;DR: In this review, the main concepts related to the lipid droplet structure and function and their involvement in inflammatory and cancer processes are summarized.
Abstract: For decades, lipid droplets have been considered as the main cellular organelles involved in the fat storage, because of their lipid composition. However, in recent years, some new and totally unexpected roles have been discovered for them: (i) they are active sites for synthesis and storage of inflammatory mediators, and (ii) they are key players in cancer cells and tissues, especially in cancer stem cells. In this review, we summarize the main concepts related to the lipid droplet structure and function and their involvement in inflammatory and cancer processes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a modelling approach to multi-energy systems in buildings, based on the energy hub concept, is presented, which allows the coupling between the energy demand and the energy supply in a building to be modelled in a synthetic way.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the addition and co-addition of expanded graphite and organically modified montmorillonite to PLA using the melt-blending technique provided nanocomposites that showed significant enhancements in rigidity, thermal stability and fire retardancy of the polymer matrix.
