Engineering an artificial trachea: Quantitative benchmarks and modular strategies for mechanics, epithelialization, and vascular integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.

GLGPGVG derived from bovine elastin repairs UV‐induced photoaging in human foreskin fibroblasts and its potential bioavailability

eFood
Studies have indicated the potential of oral elastin hydrolysates in repairing photoaging skin. To reveal the underlying mechanism, this study examined how two elastin‐derived peptides (Gly‐Leu‐Gly‐Pro‐Gly‐Val‐Gly [GLGPGVG] and Pro‐Tyr [PY]) repair ...

Assessment of Extracellular Matrix Fibrous Elements in Male Dermal Aging: A Ten-Year Follow-Up Preliminary Case Study

Biology
Skin aging is a complex phenomenon influenced by multiple internal and external factors that can lead to significant changes in skin structure, particularly the degradation of key extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and elastic fibers ...

Chemical and conformational changes in proteins through clean label strategies for enhanced functionality: Recent advances

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Process‐based functionalization of food materials has gained immense interest as they contribute to the development of clean label ingredients that can offer similar functional properties as food additives of synthetic origin. Chemical and conformational changes in proteins can induce diverse and targeted functionalities that can be useful as ...

Mechanical memory in aging: From adaptive sensing to pathological entrenchment

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Mechanical memory in aging operates through four temporal tiers, from cytoskeletal remodeling to metabolic reprogramming. Aging disrupts this cascade through three distinct decoupling patterns: sensor degradation, conduction blockade, and execution failure, leading to irreversible pathological entrenchment across multiple organ systems.

Physical aging of dry elastin

, 1980
Dry purified ligamentum nuchae elastin has been investigated for physical aging. The samples were quenched from a temperature (197??C) close to the softening point to a number of measuring temperatures ranging from -20 to +180??C.

3D Printing a Clinically Available Solution From Plaster‐Based Positives in Superficial Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

Transparent Surfactant‐Based Isotropic Systems for Topical Co‐Delivery of Hydrophilic and Lipophilic Actives for Striae Distensae

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Striae distensae are common dermal lesions that negatively affect skin appearance, and topical management remains limited by challenges related to skin deposition and residence time. Here, we developed transparent surfactant‐based isotropic systems for the topical co‐delivery of ascorbic acid (AA), retinoic acid (RA), and lavender essential ...
