Bacterial healing of cracks in metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete exposed to high temperatures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the bacterial healing of metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete modified with colemanite (K) and red mud (RM) exposed to high temperatures. The metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete samples modified with 4% K and 6% RM were prepared.

Progress in bone tissue engineering biomaterials: Development, challenges, and prospects

VIEW, EarlyView.
Scheme 1 Application of biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone tissue engineering. Abstract Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge in orthopedics. Over 2 million cases caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors occur annually, with large‐scale defects posing a particular bottleneck due to limited self‐healing capacity.

Genetic risk variants implicate impaired maintenance and repair of periodontal tissues as causal for periodontitis—A synthesis of recent findings

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Bone biology in aging periodontal and peri‐implant tissues

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontal disease is an age‐related chronic inflammatory condition leading to tooth loss. Dental implants are an option for replacement of lost teeth in older adults. However, age‐related changes to alveolar bone may have pathological implications for its role in supporting the dentition and dental implants.

Understanding exosomes in regenerative dentistry

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Regenerative dentistry is shifting from cell‐based strategies to cell‐free biologics capable of orchestrating intricate tissue repair. Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles carrying bioactive molecular payloads, have emerged as central modulators of intercellular communication.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2298-2314, September 2026.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Metatranscriptomics analysis of silicon transporters highlights underappreciated contributors to silica cycling in the Baltic Sea

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract The biotic component of the marine silica cycle strongly influences global biogeochemical cycling. Active uptake of dissolved silicic acid (dSi) occurs via silicon transporters (SITs), first characterized in diatoms but widely distributed in eukaryotes. Studying SITs and SIT‐like (SIT‐L) gene transcripts provides insights into the dynamics and
