This paper develops a 3D in vitro model of the human hepatobiliary junction that recapitulates bile flow and dysfunction under hypoxia-reoxygenation, offering insights into biliary pathophysiology.

The paper introduces a portable fluorescence viewer for rapid molecular assay readout in space and low-resource settings, demonstrating its use for SARS-CoV-2 detection and gene expression analysis.

The paper validates a cell-free protein synthesis platform in microgravity by testing biosensors for small molecules and RNA sequences aboard the International Space Station.
