The last month started from the Fool’s Day like it takes place every year. I am an ideal candidate for being a victim of cruel jokes of fate. Therefore at the beginning of the month every step in my studies was a complete disaster. Fortunately there was light somewhere at the end of the tunnel...
I focused on evaluation of the results of polyelectrolyte films micro-hardness measurements. I also prepared a series of samples to study thermal stability of the coatings. This experiment was carried out using the differential scanning calorimetry and the microscopic analysis of endothelial cell growth kinetics. Moreover I’ve started working on the production of alginate microcapsules that could potentially find application as carriers located within the scaffolds which could ensure the gradual release of factors that promote cell growth and differentiation.
