Thermal Annealing Enhances Piezoelectricity and Regenerative Potential of PVDF‐TrFE Nanofiber Scaffolds

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Thermal annealing improves the structure, stiffness, and piezoelectric properties of poly(vinylidene flouride‐trifluoroethylene) (PVDF‐TrFE) nanofiber scaffolds. These annealed scaffolds promote Schwann cell proliferation and matrix remodeling in vitro and demonstrate in vivo biocompatibility.

Heterogeneity Landscape of Circulating Tumor Cells in Clinical Utility

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This study reports the heterogeneity spectrum of circulating tumor cells. The factors involved in the spectrum promote CTCs to overcome barriers in the metastatic cascade but impact the clinical outcome of cancer patients. In summary, the heterogeneities in association with CTCs ultimately reduce patient survival and facilitate increasing mortality of ...
