Mechanically Tunable Bone Scaffolds: In Vivo Hardening of 3D‐Printed Calcium Phosphate/Polycaprolactone Inks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D bone scaffold with osteogenic properties and capable of hardening in vivo is developed. The scaffold is implanted in a ductile state, and a phase transformation of the ceramic induces the stiffening and strengthening of the scaffold in vivo. Abstract Calcium phosphate 3D printing has revolutionized customized bone grafting.

Hydrodynamic activities and lifestyle preferences synergistically drive prokaryotic community assembly processes in the dual fronts system of the Yangtze River Estuary

Frontiers in Microbiology
The dual fronts system of the Yangtze River Estuary plays a critical role in the hydrodynamic-biological coupling mechanisms, whose frontal effects stimulate marine microorganisms to adapt to environmental fluctuation. However, the synergistic mechanisms

Disturbance and resource availability act differently on the same suite of plant traits: revisiting assembly hypotheses. [PDF]

, 2012
Understanding the mechanisms of trait selection at the scale of plant communities is a crucial step toward predicting community assembly. Although it is commonly assumed that disturbance and resource availability constrain separate suites of traits ...

Unleashing the Power of Machine Learning in Nanomedicine Formulation Development

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A random forest machine learning model is able to make predictions on nanoparticle attributes of different nanomedicines (i.e. lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, or PLGA nanoparticles) based on microfluidic formulation parameters. Machine learning models are based on a database of nanoparticle formulations, and models are able to generate unique solutions

Nitrogen deposition does not change stochastic processes of soil microbial community assembly under climate warming in primary forest

Ecological Indicators
Soil microbial communities are essential for ensuring forest health, however, the influences of global change on soil microbial communities and their ecosystem functions remain unclear. Here, we explored the influences of experimental warming (3 °C above
