- I am creating a medical scaffold made out of TPU to surgically implant around the pancreas for diabetic patients. The scaffold will have have capsules of islet beta cells which will diffuse into the pancreas to create a functional pancreas. I will use the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) technique to determine the specific surface area and porosity of the scaffold material. In the context of the TPU scaffold, the BET technique will provide crucial insights into its porosity and its potential to facilitate the infusion of beta cells into the pancreas. Can you explain the expected/ideal results from the BET test and how the test will help the design process of this medical scaffold.arrow_forwardGlucose has been found to react nonenzymatically with hemoglobin, through Schiff base formation between C-1 of glucose and the amino termini of the β chains.
