Engineering programmable peptide hydrogels for chronic refractory wounds: A mechanism‐driven framework

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
To break the self‐perpetuating pathology of chronic wounds, we propose a mechanism‐driven engineering framework for peptide‐based hydrogels. This review elucidates a hierarchical strategy—from molecular design to intelligent, multi‐functional systems—that enables these programmable biomaterials to dynamically intervene in key pathological loops and ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Supply Chain Innovations for Food Waste and Loss: Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste and loss (FWL) remains a critical challenge across food supply chains (SCs) globally, with approximately one‐third of all food produced for human consumption discarded or lost each year. This study systematically reviews how supply chain innovation (SCI) can mitigate FWL.

Customized three dimensionally printed palatal stents: A randomized controlled clinical trial

open access: yesClinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Soft tissue grafts are commonly used in periodontal surgery around teeth and implants. However, few studies have examined donor‐site pain through patient‐reported outcomes following soft tissue grafting. This study aimed to minimize donor‐site pain during autologous gingival grafting using a three‐dimensionally (3D)‐printed stent ...

Bimanual instrument suturing technique for periodontal and implant microsurgery: A technical note

open access: yesClinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In the traditional suturing technique, the dominant hand (DH) holds a needle holder, and the non‐dominant hand (NH) performs manual ties without the aid of an instrument. In periodontal and implant microsurgery, finer sutures and needles, e.g., 7‐0 in International Organization for Standardization units, are used, which could be ...
