Xeno-Free Biomimetic ECM Model for Investigation of Matrix Composition and Stiffness on Astrocyte Cell ResponseAstrocytes, highly specialized glial cells, play a critical role in neuronal function. Variations in brain extracellular matrix (ECM) during development and disease can significantly alter astrocyte cell function. Age-related changes in ECM properties have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. The goal of this study was to develop hydrogel-based biomimetic ECM models with varying stiffness and evaluate the effects of ECM composition and stiffness on astrocyte cell response. Xeno-free ECM models were synthesized by combining varying ratios of human collagen and thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA) crosslinked with polyethylene glycol diacrylate. Results showed that modulating ECM composition yielded hydrogels with varying stiffnesses that match the stiffness of the native brain ECM. Collagen-rich hydrogels swell more and exhibit greater stability. Higher metabolic activity and greater cell spreading was observed in hydrogels with lower HA. Soft hydrogels tr...
The 8 Asian Translation Tradition Conference: Conflicting Ideologies and Cultural Mediation - Hearing, Interpreting and Translating Global Voices
A Postmodern Study of Translator’s (In)visibility2017 •
Asymmetry of power relations causes mediation between languages and cultures to take the form of acculturation, Venuti believes. To adopt an ethical stance which tends to favor democratic mediation, Venuti rejects the regime of fluency and transparency. He advocates foreignizing and minoritizing translation and recommends abusive fidelity to resist univocality and homogeneity. He also suggests a symptomatic approach to reading translations through which discontinuities can be highlighted. All these, Venuti claims, can render translators more visible. The present study takes a postmodern approach to translator’s mediation and visibility as discussed by Venuti and attempts to find out to what extent his views bear traces of postmodern thought. To this end, the works of a number of leading thinkers who are associated with postmodernism and their views make up the postmodern world, notably Lyotard, Boudrillard, Derrida, Cixous, Deleuze and Guattari, were examined and their postmodern claims were listed and called postmodern scenarios. Then Venuti’s views were compared with postmodern scenarios in quest of commonalities. The results of the analysis revealed that Venuti’s views on mediation are postmodern. His rejection of transparency and fluency is a postmodern view for it rejects binarism, originality, universal truth and unitary meaning. Since foreignization takes care of specificity, emphasizes heterogeneity and nurtures foreign and domestic simultaneously, it is also postmodern. His notion of abusive fidelity can be considered postmodern too for it breaks down hierarchical and binary structures and refutes homogeneity. Finally, his symptomatic reading qualifies as a postmodern approach because it shares Lyotard’s view on discontinuity.
