Melt Electrowriting High Resolution Poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) Scaffolds for Soft Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...

Non‐Invasive Brain Targeted Delivery of Cannabidiol for Alleviating Neuroinflammatory Disease

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The glucose‐functionalized nanoparticles (GNPs) are developed for the brain‐targeted delivery of cannabidiol (CBD). GNPs bypass the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) via glucose transporter‐1 (GLUT‐1) and release CBD in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Kairos, Information Literacy and Praxis: Critical Theory and Critical Practice in LIS and Academic Librarianship

Proceedings of the Annual Conference of CAIS / Actes du congrès annuel de l'ACSI, 2016
Kairos involves both an understanding of thesociohistorically-informed present and a recognition ofpresent necessities. Examining the state ofinformation literacy scholarship, we argue we arewithin a kairotic moment where LIS scholars andlibrarians need to merge critical theories and criticalpractices to create a critical praxis of librarianship.Le ...
