Fabrication of 3‑Dimensional Cellular Constructs via Microstereolithography Using a Simple, Three-Component, Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Acrylate-Based System
A novel method for the production of inhibitor- and solvent-free
resins suitable for three-dimensional (3D) microstereolithography
is reported. Using an exemplar polyÂ(ethylene glycol)-based resin,
the control of features in the <i>X</i>, <i>Y</i>, and <i>Z</i> planes is demonstrated such that complex
structures can be manufactured. Human mesenchymal stem cells cultured
on the manufactured scaffolds remained viable during the 7 day assessment
period, with proliferation rates comparable to those observed on tissue
culture polystyrene. These data suggest that this novel, yet simple,
method is suitable for the production of 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering
and regenerative medicine applications
Tissue Transglutamase (TTG) titres at time of specimen collection and Marsh scores at diagnosis.

Results of the machine learning analysis.
<p>Shown here are the ROC curve Area-Under-Curve (AUC) scores, sensitivities and specificities for three classification algorithms. The values are computed using a leave-one-out cross-validation. The 95% confidence intervals are shown in brackets. The sensitivities and specificities are determined from the ROC curve, selecting in each case a threshold that gives good values for both.</p><p>Results of the machine learning analysis.</p

Scatter plot of TTG serology vs classification probability for Coeliac cases.
<p>The classification probabilities are the probability of a given patient having Coeliac disease, as determined by the sparse logistic regression algorithm. The overall correlation of these points is 0.28. One outlying point with TTG>60 kU/L has been removed.</p
