Rotator cuff tendons of the shoulder joint : anatomy and investigation of strain profile by Sheng, Jia-Min

“…It was shown that double-row repairs restored the strains to the intact strain condition and thus may be more efficient for tendon healing than single-row repairs. Elevation of arm at higher angles should be avoided after surgical repairs due to the high differential strains between the two surfaces of the supraspinatus. …”

Osmotic gradients induce bio-reminiscent morphological transformations in giant unilamellar vesicles by Oglęcka, Kamila, Sanborn, Jeremy, Parikh, Atul N., Kraut, Rachel S.

“…The repertoire of membrane deformations we observe display striking resemblance to their biological counterparts in live cells encompassing vesiculation, membrane fission and fusion, tubulation and pearling, as well as expulsion of entrapped vesicles from multicompartmental giant unilamellar vesicles through large, self-healing transient pores. These observations suggest that the forces introduced by simple osmotic gradients across membrane boundaries could act as a trigger for shape-dependent membrane and vesicle trafficking activities. …”

In vitro bioactivity and biocompatibility assessment of PCL/PLA–scaffolded mesoporous silicate bioactive glass: role of boron activation by Md. Zain, Siti Khalijah, Sazali, Ezza Syuhada, Ghoshal, Sib Krishna, Hisam, Rosdiyana

“…Based on this fact, some new types of boron-activated mesoporous Bioactive silicate glasses (BMSGs) were made to determine the feasibility of achieving their improved mechanical strength, structure, porosity, biodegradability and bone healing performance. Four samples of the form xB2O3 – (80–x) SiO2 – 15CaO – 5P2O5 with x is 0, 5, 10, and 15 mol% were prepared using a unified sol-gel/evaporation induced self-assembly (SG-EISA) process. …”

Thermal-disrupting interface mitigates intercellular cohesion loss for accurate topical antibacterial therapy by Hu, Benhui, Berkey, Christopher, Feliciano, Timothy, Chen, Xiaohong, Li, Zhuyun, Chen, Chao, Amini, Shahrouz, Nai, Mui Hoon, Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran, Wang, Juan, Leow, Wan Ru, Pan, Shaowu, Li, Yong-Qiang, Cai, Pingqiang, Miserez, Ali, Li, Shuzhou, Lim, Chwee Teck, Wu, Yun-Long, Odom, Teri W., Dauskardt, Reinhold H., Chen, Xiaodong

“…Although several strategies such as photothermal therapy and magneto-thermal therapy can suppress bacterial infections, excessive heat often damages host cells and lengthens the healing time. Here, a localized thermal managing strategy, thermal-disrupting interface induced mitigation (TRIM), is reported, to minimize intercellular cohesion loss for accurate antibacterial therapy. …”

Cryogelation of human hair keratins by Chua, Huei Min

“…Human hair keratins (HHK) are natural structural proteins that can be extracted from abundant hair waste and valorised into biomaterials for tissue regeneration, wound healing, and drug delivery etc. The emergence of HHK in biomedical applications is attributed to their proven biocompatibility as well as their potential to promote cell adhesion and proliferation due to the presence of LDV (leucine-aspartic-valine) cell adhesion motifs and residual regulatory molecules. …”

The development and application of fish scale waste for tissue engineering applications : waste-to-resource conversion of resource resilient materials by Wang, Jun Kit

“…From the histological results, the uncrosslinked methylated SHCol promoted greater cellular infiltration, thus making it most suitable for wound healing applications. On the other hand, the methylated SHCol crosslinked with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDE) crosslinker significantly promoted (p < 0.05) the formation and growth of LVs, thus making it suitable for treatment of lymphedema or other inflammatory related diseases. …”
