Development of Bifunctional Three-Dimensional Cysts from Chemically Induced Liver Progenitors by Yu Huang, Yusuke Sakai, Takanobu Hara, Takeshi Katsuda, Takahiro Ochiya, Tomohiko Adachi, Masaaki Hidaka, Wei-Li Gu, Susumu Eguchi

“…The 3D cysts also expressed functional multidrug resistance protein 1 (Mdr1), as indicated by epithelial efflux of rhodamine. Furthermore, we observed bile canaliculi functions between hepatocytes and cholyl-lysyl-fluorescein extrusions, indicating that the functional characteristics of 3D cysts and active bile salt export pump (Bsep) transporters were intact. …”

Unraveling mechanisms of electrolyte wetting process in three-dimensional electrode structures: Insights from realistic architectures by Fei Chen, Tianxin Chen, Zhenxuan Wu, Zihan Zhou, Kunjie Lu, Jinyao Su, Yihua Wang, Jianfeng Hua, Xin Lai, Xuebin Han, Minggao Ouyang, Yuejiu Zheng

“…Using advanced X-ray computed tomography, three-dimensional electrode structures are reconstructed, and permeability and capillary action are evaluated as key parameters. It is observed that increasing calendering pressure and active material content reduces electrode porosity, thereby decreasing permeability and penetration rate; however, it simultaneously enhances capillary action. …”
