Highly Aligned Bacteria Cellulose Yarn Aggregation for Energy Generation and Strain Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Although high‐performance bacterial cellulose fibers have attracted significant interest for wearable electronics, a self‐powered and high‐mechanosensitive design is still scarce for achieving an intelligent integrated system. Here, we demonstrate an innovative bio‐fabrication strategy to develop a core‐sheath yarn that features the ordered network and

Comparison of the efficacy of ultrasound-guided dextrose 25% hypertonic prolotherapy and intra-articular normal saline injection on pain, functional limitation, and range of motion in patients with knee osteoarthritis; a randomized controlled trial

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating condition that manifests as knee pain and dysfunction. Clinicians prefer non-surgical options such as intra-articular injections for mild to moderate disease. Dextrose prolotherapy (DPTx) has been shown to have a beneficial effect on knee OA in the long-term. In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), we aimed

Beyond Cartilage‐Inspired Supramolecular Polyurethane for Adaptive Impact‐Resistant Protection with Robustness, Self‐Healing, and Recyclability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cartilage‐inspired supramolecular polyurethane–urea (PU‐BAMB) elastomers are developed by integrating hierarchical hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions within a dynamically reconfigurable network. This synergistic supramolecular architecture overcomes the intrinsic trade‐off between rigidity and recoverability, imparting exceptional toughness,
