Structure Formation in Butterfly Scales: Interplay of Genetic Control, Mechanical Instabilities, and Dynamic Material Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

Multiplex Modular Nanorobotic Systems with Catalytic Activity under Magnetic Navigation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present modular nanorobots composed of a magnetic propulsion module and different extension modules carrying functional activities, assembled via DNA base pairing. The system integrates propulsion, optical tracking, enzymatic catalysis, and cell docking in a programmable manner.

A comparative study about the various aspects of narrow stainless steel bone plates made in Turkey and Europe

Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2021
Narrow stainless steel bone plates manifactured in Turkey and those in Europe have been studied comparatively from the points-of-view of corrosion, tissue reaction (aseptic inflammation), strength and durability. Both types of stainless steel bone plates

Multi‐Responsive Dendrimer‐Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel With Lubricating and Immunoregulatory Functions for Synergistic Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A hydrogel with dynamic cross‐links was formed by cross‐linking hyaluronic acid with curcumin‐preloaded, phenylboronic acid‐modified poly(amidoamine) dendrimers. This hydrogel exhibited excellent injectability and self‐healing ability, enabling controlled Cur release in response to low pH, high reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, or mechanical ...

Functional Outcome of Distal Humerus Intra-articular Fractures Treated with Pre-contoured Anatomical Locking Plates

Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics
Introduction: The most difficult therapeutic challenge is treating humerus fractures, which might result in a subpar functional outcome. It is anticipated that early mobilization, anatomic reduction, and internal fixation will enhance the functional ...

Modular adaptive bone plate for humerus bone osteosynthesis.

Romanian journal of morphology and embryology = Revue roumaine de morphologie et embryologie, 2009
The present paper describes a bionics application of shape memory alloy in construction of orthopedic implant. The main idea of this paper is related to design modular adaptive implants for fractured bones. In order to target the efficiency of medical treatment, the implant has to protect the fractured bone, for the healing period, undertaking much as ...

Assembly of Cell‐Seeded 3D Printed Hydrogel Modules with Perfusable Channel Networks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Macroscale assembly was utilized to prepare perfusable tissue constructs from individually 3D printed hydrogel modules with embedded branched channel networks and port arrays for cell seeding. Novel multi‐material bioreactors were fabricated to facilitate the gluing of individual modules and the perfusion culture of assembled modular constructs seeded ...

Self‐Assembled Nanoclay Gel With Spheroid MSC‐Derived Exosome Mimetics to Integrate Demineralized Bone Matrix and Noggin‐Targeting miRNA for Synergistic Osteogenesis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We report a versatile nanoclay gel carrier platform that enhances the osteogenic efficacy of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) by integrating nanoclay‐based self‐assembly with cell‐derived exosome mimetics loaded with noggin‐targeting miR‐200c. This design amplifies BMP signaling, thereby promoting DBM‐mediated osteogenesis and offering a promising ...

Genetic requirement for Ras in the transformation of fibroblasts and hematopoietic cells by the Bcr-Abl oncogene. [PDF]

, 1995
To determine the functional importance of Ras in transformation by Abl oncogenes, we used a genetic approach to measure the effect of impaired Ras activity on the ability of Bcr-Abl or v-Abl to transform cells.
