Design and optimization of imageable microspheres for locoregional cancer therapy
Scientific Reports volume 15, Article number: 27487 (2025)
Authors: Brenna Kettlewell, Andrea Armstrong, Kirill Levin, Riad Salem, Edward Kim, Robert J. Lewandowski, Alexander Loizides, Robert J. Abraham, Daniel Boyd
Mark's comments: This is a great application of mixture design for optimal formulation of a medical-grade glass. The researchers used Stat-Ease software tools to improve the properties of microspheres to an extent that their use can be extended to cancers beyond the current application to those located in the liver. Well done!

Microwave-assisted extraction of bioactive compounds from Urtica dioica using solvent-based process optimization and characterization
Scientific Reports volume 15, Article number: 25375 (2025)
Authors: Anjali Sahal, Afzal Hussain, Ritesh Mishra, Sakshi Pandey, Ankita Dobhal, Waseem Ahmad, Vinod Kumar, Umesh Chandra Lohani, Sanjay Kumar
Mark's comments: Kudos to this team for deploying a Box-Behnken response-surface-method design--convenient by only requiring 3 levels of each of their 3 factors (power, time and sample-to-solvent ratio)--to optimize their process. Given all the raw data I was able to easily copy it out and import it into my Stat-Ease software and check into the modeling--no major issues uncovered. The authors did well by diagnosing residuals and making use of our numerical optimization tools to find the most desirable factor combination for their multiple-response goals.
