Thermally Induced Gelling Systems Based on Patchy Polymeric Micelles

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
A novel strategy to design thermally induced gelling systems with tunable material properties is reported. Polymeric mixed‐shell micelles displaying multiple thermosensitive patchy domains formed hydrogels by assembling into well‐entangled worm‐like network structures upon heating to body temperature. The patchy micelle design significantly affects the

Engineering the Hierarchical Porosity of Granular Hydrogel Scaffolds Using Porous Microgels to Improve Cell Recruitment and Tissue Integration

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.
By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

Benefit of low-convection-volume post-dilution online hemodiafiltration from the viewpoint of green nephrology: a retrospective study

Renal Replacement Therapy
Background Environmental changes, such as global warming and abnormal climate changes, have become a major global issue. In this study, we focused on reducing the total dialysate flow rate (Q D_total) during online hemodiafiltration as an immediately ...

Risk factors of ischemic stroke and subsequent outcome in hemodialysis patients [PDF]

, 2015
Background and purpose: End stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis (HD) carries up to a 10-fold greater risk of stroke than normal renal function. Knowledge concerning risk factors and management strategies derived from the general population

High‐Performance Low‐Emissivity Paints Enabled by N‐Doped Poly(benzodifurandione) (n‐PBDF) for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a scalable and colored low‐emissivity (low‐e) paint achieved by spraying an ultrathin n‐doped poly(benzodifurandione) (n‐PBDF) coating onto various colored substrates. The low‐e paint enhances thermal regulation by reducing mid‐infrared thermal emissivity to 0.19, thereby stabilizing indoor temperatures across diverse climates ...

External validation of a risk stratification model to assist shared decision making for patients starting renal replacement therapy [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Shared decision making is nowadays acknowledged as an essential step when deciding on starting renal replacement therapy. Valid risk stratification of prognosis is, besides discussing quality of life, crucial in this regard.

Adalimumab‐Poloxamer Conjugate for Bio‐Better: Enhanced Stability and Function

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Antibody‐polymer conjugates, particularly poloxamer conjugates, enhance antibody stability by improving tolerance to physicochemical stress and attenuating proteolysis by proteases. Furthermore, the higher affinity observed with poloxamer conjugation compared to standard PEGylation results in improved therapeutic efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis mouse ...
