Abstract
Albumin has been the focus of literally thousands of articles since its first use in the clinical setting during World War II. Despite being at the centre of several clinical controversies, many questions still remain regarding the use and abuse of albumin. The major physiologic functions include mai...

Abstract
We demonstrate that PEMs constructed from CS as the polyanion display a low Young's modulus correlated with poorly supported cell adhesion and proliferation. When the CS was adsorbed onto a stiffer polypeptide PEM basis, the Young's modulus increased, and the cell response was significantly improved...

Abstract
To produce better antibacterial water-insoluble nanocomposites of silver (Ag), silver-silicon dioxide (Ag-SiO(2)) hybrid and silver colloid (Ag-c) nanoparticles (NPs) were studied. Ag-c NPs were synthesized using reduction of AgNO(3), and Ag-SiO(2) composites were prepared on a core of silica NPs fun...

Abstract
The glass transition temperature of a broad class of molecules is shown to depend on molecular size. This dependency results from the size dependence of the pair potential. A generalized equation of state is used to estimate how the volume fraction at the glass transition depends on...
