She was a strong advocate for the newborns and preterm babies. The doctor, who loved to sing, developed training guidelines on ‘Infant feeding in the context of HIV.’
Prof Rachel Musoke, a lover of music since childhood, has inspired many in not just paediatrics, but neonatology too. She retired at 76, having worked as a neonatologist at KNH.
Biopolymers as Nature’s Tools for Wound Therapy
NUS researchers have discovered a method to fabricate a biologic interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel using applied rheology.
Figure shows the cell-conducive environment of gellan gum-collagen IPN hydrogels. The encapsulated adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) exhibit gradual return of morphology to their usual spindle-like shape over 21 days of culture. This shows that the cell-conducive environment of the IPN hydrogels facilitated cell adhesion, spread, and proliferation. F-actin (cytoskeleton) of cells were stained green with Phalloidin-iFluor 488 reagent and z-stack images were captured with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) using Zeiss LSM 710 to analyse the entirety of the cell-laden hydrogels at referred time points. Cell adhesion to, and cell spread within, IPN hydrogels could be observed in all 3 dimensions. (Scale bar: 100 µm). Image Credit: ACS Applied Bio Materials
