Three-phase interactions in shear and electrical fields
S Torza,S. G. Mason +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that when two immiscible liquid drops, designated as phase-1 and -3, suspended in a third immiscibility liquid, phase-2, are brought into contact, the resulting equilibrium configuration is readily predicted from the interfacial tensions σij and spreading coefficients Si = σjk − (σij + σik).

Optimization of microencapsulation parameters: Semipermeable microcapsules as a bioartificial pancreas.
TL;DR: The microencapsulation procedure, by protecting transplanted tissue from the components of the immune system, has great clinical potential as a new form of treatment for diseases such as diabetes and liver disease.

Studies on tissue homotransplantation in mice, using diffusion-chamber methods.
TL;DR: It was known from the work of Merwin and Hill that small homografts, placed so as not to become vascularized, will survive indefinitely in the subcutane’ous site because they do not initiate immunity in the host, and this proved to be the case.
