Monotonicity, convexity, and inequalities for the generalized elliptic integrals

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2017
We provide the monotonicity and convexity properties and sharp bounds for the generalized elliptic integrals K a ( r ) $\mathscr{K}_{a}(r)$ and E a ( r ) $\mathscr {E}_{a}(r)$ depending on a parameter a ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) $a\in(0,1)$ , which contains an earlier

A Modular Bioinstructive Platform Reveals Mechanistic Insights into Additive‐Free, Topography‐Driven Osteogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...

Comparative Convexity

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1999
The author discusses the usefulness of some concepts of the comparative convexity of two functions. He defines, for instance, \(f\) as \textit{absolutely} more convex than \(g\) on some interval \([a,b]\) if for all \(\lambda_1,\lambda_2\geq 0\), \(\lambda_1+ \lambda_2= 1\), and all \(x_1,x_2\in [a,b]\), \[ \lambda_1 f(x_1)+ \lambda_2f(x_2)- f ...

Start, Stop, Rewind, Repeat—Cyclic Exposure of Adipose Stromal Cells‐derived Cartilage Organoids to Chondrogenic and Proliferative Cues to Achieve Scaled‐up and Customizable Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study exploits the plasticity of ASCs‐derived cartilage organoids which generate a perichondrial layer of MSCs when exposed to cyclic chondrogenic/proliferative cues. Using these organoids as building blocks, we develop (i) Phalange Shaped Tissue Engineered Cartilage (Pa‐TECs), recapitulating endochondral ossification suitable for the treatment of
