A centrifugal compressor for large-scale supercritical carbon dioxide applications (∼50 MW)
is analyzed by means of RANS simulations. The purposely designed compressor includes …

This work reports on the formation of a carrier-in-carrier device for the systemic delivery and
targeting of hydrophobic drugs mediated by micelle-loaded mesenchymal stromal cells (…

Background: Low back pain (LBP) emanating from the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is a common
finding. Devices to fuse the SIJ are now commercially available, but high-quality evidence …

It is well known that angiogenesis is a complex process that accompanies neoplastic growth,
