Robotics for Crop Pollination: Recent Advances and Future Direction

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is great interest in alternative pollination strategies for crop production in the face of climate change and perennial threats to the traditional pollination mechanisms. This review explores the potential of robotic pollination as a promising solution to these challenges affecting crop fertilization, agricultural sustainability, and ...

Sustainable and Programmable Hydrogels for Bone Regeneration: A Perspective on Green Synthesis and Precision Fabrication

SusMat, EarlyView.
The clinical translation of natural hydrogels is often hindered by a fundamental conflict. Green synthesis prioritizes biosafety through mild and non‐toxic conditions, whereas precision manufacturing demands mechanical robustness and structural fidelity.

Bone Grafts: Everything You Need to Know

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review classifies bone grafts (autograft, allograft, xenograft, synthetic) by source and osteogenic/inductive/conductive potential, linking material properties and mechanisms to clinical indications in periodontal and dental regeneration. Key challenges—limited osteoinduction, poor vascularisation, unbalanced resorption, handling difficulties, and

Next Generation Smart Implant Surfaces: Engineering Multifunctional Antimicrobial, Immunomodulatory and Regenerative Interfaces

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Natural‐inspired nano‐textured implant surfaces can be functionalised to modulate macrophage polarisation and local immune responses. This bioactive control promotes improved tissue integration and healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Dental implants rely on a stable and functional interface between the implant surface, surrounding tissues, and the oral ...
