Non-destructive mechanistic study of buried interfaces between organic coatings and engineering metals
In a wide variety of applications, metals are covered with an organic coating in order to increase corrosion resistance or to add surface functional properties. The efficiency and durability of coated metals is largely determined by the phenomena occurring at the organic-inorganic interface.

Optimalisation of a biphasic oocyte in vitro maturation system: testing of hypotheses in the mouse model and translation to human
In vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) derived from small antral follicles can be offered as a “patient-friendly” treatment alternative for conventional ovarian stimulation (OS) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients.
