Published experiments

Following full acceptance onto the ACELL database, ACELL participants have the option of continuing further to a full, refereed publication.  The publication is not a report of the actual experiment (although it might contain such a description), but rather a report of the educational analysis of the experiment.

The papers below are all authored by ACELL participants, and the PDF files are made available with permission of the copyright holders.
