Improving Realism of Facial Interpolation and Blendshapes with Analytical Partial Differential Equation-Represented Physics

Axioms
How to create realistic shapes by interpolating two known shapes for facial blendshapes has not been investigated in the existing literature. In this paper, we propose a physics-based mathematical model and its analytical solutions to obtain more ...

Precursor Mineral Phases of Forming Mollusk Shell Nacre: A Study of Hydrated Samples

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mineral, organic phase, and water are the essential components in mollusk shell nacre formation. Their interplay is not well understood, because the hydrated material is difficult to observe at high resolution, under close to native conditions. Forming nacre is studied using environmental and cryo‐electron microscopy and hydrated ACC phases, together ...

Multiple Twinning in Nacre and Aragonite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electron backscatter diffraction map of a cluster of geologic aragonite, exhibiting single, double, and triple twins. The whole cluster is approximately 2 cm wide. Colors indicate crystal orientations, so that pixels where the a‐, b‐, and c‐axis is perpendicular to the image plane are green, red, and blue, respectively.

Human Endometrial Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel Facilitated Endometrial Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Endometrial Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Adequate thickness of the uterine lining is crucial for women with thin or damaged endometrium to achieve pregnancies. Endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (eMSC) can facilitate the cyclical repair and regeneration of the human endometrium. In this study, the human endometrium derived extracellular matrix hydrogel supports the growth of eMSC promoting ...

Multiscale Profiling of Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Framework Biocompatibility and Immune Interactions

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A multi‐scale, hierarchical ‘Safety‐by‐Design’ pipeline combining machine learning, ex vivo human blood assays, and in vivo models enables the systematic immunotoxicity and biocompatibility profiling of nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks, accelerating their safe clinical translation. Abstract The clinical translation of metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) –

Controlling Intestinal Organoid Polarity using Synthetic Dynamic Hydrogels Decorated with Laminin‐Derived IKVAV Peptides

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Design rules are presented to control intestinal organoid polarity in fully synthetic hydrogels. The laminin‐derived IKVAV sequence is crucial to obtain correct intestinal organoid polarity. Increasing hydrogel dynamics further supports the growth of correctly polarized intestinal organoids, while a bulk level of stiffness (G’ ≈ 0.7 kPa) is crucial to ...
