3D-Printed Bioactive Scaffold Loaded with GW9508 Promotes Critical-Size Bone Defect Repair by Regulating Intracellular Metabolism

Bioengineering, 2023
The process of bone regeneration is complicated, and it is still a major clinical challenge to regenerate critical-size bone defects caused by severe trauma, infection, and tumor resection. Intracellular metabolism has been found to play an important role in the cell fate decision of skeletal progenitor cells. GW9508, a potent agonist of the free fatty

Universality of the Crossing Probability for the Potts Model for q=1,2,3,4 [PDF]

, 2003
The universality of the crossing probability $\pi_{hs}$ of a system to percolate only in the horizontal direction, was investigated numerically by using a cluster Monte-Carlo algorithm for the $q$-state Potts model for $q=2,3,4$ and for percolation $q=1$.

Heterogeneous condensation of the Lennard-Jones vapor onto a nanoscale seed particle

, 2011
The heterogeneous condensation of a Lennard-Jones vapor onto a nanoscale seed particle is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. Measuring the nucleation rate and the height of the free energy barrier using the mean first passage time method shows

3D‐Printed Osteoinductive Polymeric Scaffolds with Optimized Architecture to Repair a Sheep Metatarsal Critical‐Size Bone Defect

Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2023
AbstractThe reconstruction of critical‐size bone defects in long bones remains a challenge for clinicians. A new osteoinductive medical device is developed here for long bone repair by combining a 3D‐printed architectured cylindrical scaffold made of clinical‐grade polylactic acid (PLA) with a polyelectrolyte film coating delivering the osteogenic bone
