| Abstract | Successfully developing tissue and organ equivalents requires one to balance device design strategies with the complexities of supporting cells able to accomplish targeted functions. For these equivalents to attain the goal of wide spread clinical use with off-the-shelf availability, it is also critical that methods for storing these systems are considered during in the design phase. This study presents a liver equivalent system — a radial flow bioreactor (RFB) — designed with each of these goals in mind. Its unique features include its capacity for cell support and the design of its cellular space. Specifically it is able to accommodate functional and reasonably sized tissue (more than 2×108 cells). The RFB’s effectiveness in supporting functioning liver cells; the consequences of the system’s flow on O2 transport; and the results of cryopreserving its tissue equivalents at sub-zero temperatures, are all presented. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
