Catalysts for SW tube formation are not confined to the iron-group metals. Some elements of the lanthanide series can catalyze the formation of SW tubes. 

When this type of flow pattern is impractical, an alternative may be a through hole or tube formation combined with a postmolding sealing or closing operation by spinning or ultrasonic welding. At the other extreme, consider a 1 /4 in. (0.6 cm) diameter core exposed to a pressure of 4,000 psi (28 MPa) with an allowance for deflection of 0.0001 in. (0.00025 cm) and determine how deep a blind hole can be molded under these conditions. 

Fig. 2.7 Germ tube formation by Candida albicans. For simplicity the diagram merely illustrates the nuclear content of the parental yeast cell and the developing germ tube. In real life there is a complex rearrangement of cytoplasmic constituents which results in all parts except the apex becoming highly vacuolated.

Mixtures exploded when heated, but only if contained in narrow ignition tubes. Formation of nitrite, a more powerful oxidant than nitrate, may have been involved.

The role of KDR in endothelial cells has been extensively studied [111]. It is suggested that interaction with KDR is a critical requirement to induce VEGF biological responses, which include cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, tube formation, increase of vascular permeabihty, and maintenance... 

In CGE the capillary is filled with a gel containing cross-linked or linear polymers. The gel thereby acts as molecular sieve. Traditionally, cross-linked polyacrylamides and agarose have been utilized in the slab and tube format. Polyacrylamides when cross-linked have smaller pore sizes and are used for protein separations. The larger pore sizes of agarose gels are more suitable for DNA separation. Polyacrylamides yield very viscous gels. Therefore, polymerization is usually done on column, which has a lot of practical problems.

Compound efficacy has been correlated with the inhibition of angiogenesis in a variety of assays (endothelial capillary tube formation, aortic ring assay, chorioallantoic membrane assay, real-time tumor blood flow and PO2 measurements, tumor blood vessel density, and tumor hypoxic and apoptotic fractions) [35].
