4D Bioprinted Self‐Folding Scaffolds Enhance Cartilage Formation in the Engineering of Trachea
A bilayer self‐folding scaffold, triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D bioprinting for trachea engineering. An analytical model is derived to predict its radius of curvature, enabling its scalability. Cartilage progenitor cells seeded on the scaffold perceive scaffold final curvature and react to it, by enhancing the upregulation of pro ...

Natural vs. financial insurance in the management of public-good ecosystems [PDF]
In the face of uncertainty, ecosystems can provide natural insurance to risk averse users of ecosystem services. We employ a conceptual ecological-economic model to analyze the allocation of (endogenous) risk and ecosystem quality by risk averse ...

Magnetic Steganography Based on Wide‐Field Diamond Quantum Microscopy
This document illustrates magnetic steganography. Magnetic graphics, including pixel art and QR codes, are produced using magnetic materials (such as Ni) and obscure behind patterns manufactured using non‐magnetic materials (such as Au), which are unveiled through widefield quantum microscopy. Furthermore, manipulating the electron spin of NV with dual
