The future of Extracellular Vesicles as Theranostics – an ISEV meeting report
2020
ABSTRACT The utilization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in clinical theranostics has rapidly advanced in the past decade. In November 2018, the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) held a workshop on “EVs in Clinical Theranostic”. Here, we report the conclusions of roundtable discussions on the current advancement in the analysis technologies and we provide some guidelines to researchers in the field to consider the use of EVs in clinical application. The main challenges and the requirements for EV separation and characterization strategies, quality control and clinical investigation were discussed to promote the application of EVs in future clinical studies.
Mechanical properties of pultruded glass fiber reinforced plastic after freeze–thaw cycling
2012
The use of pultruded fiber-reinforced plastics in civil infrastructure requires the long-term prediction of their mechanical properties, which should be based on understanding and estimating the processes in the structure under action of aggressive environmental factors: humidity and freeze–thaw cycles. This article reports on results of short-term exposure to severe freeze–thaw cycling in the temperature range from –30°C to 20°C of polyester-based glass fiber reinforced plastic both dry and wet. The effect of freeze–thaw cycling of flat specimens cut from I-beam pultruded profile was estimated by use of three-point-bending tests and dilatometric investigation in the temperature range from…
