Fibrin association at hybrid biointerfaces made of clot-binding peptides and polythiophene [PDF]
, 2016 The properties as biointerfaces of electroactive conducting polymer-peptide biocomposites formed by poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and CREKA or CR(NMe)EKA peptide sequences (where Glu has been replaced by N-methyl-Glu in the latter) have been ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Association between genotypic diversity and biofilm production in group B Streptococcus [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of sepsis and meningitis and an important factor in premature and stillbirths. Biofilm production has been suggested to be important for GBS pathogenesis alongside many other elements ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

An Electron Microscopic Observation on Epithelial Attachment
Nihon Shishubyo Gakkai Kaishi (Journal of the Japanese Society of Periodontology), 1973 臨床的に正常歯肉と判定し, 光顕で病理組織的に初期歯肉炎とみとめた成人 (20歳～54歳) の辺縁歯肉を, 電子顕微鏡的に観察した。観察は上皮付着部を歯冠側から根尖側の尖端部にわたって行い, その結果次の様な所見を得た。(1) 歯肉溝中央より歯冠側のエナメル質表面には, cuticle に接して上皮細胞がわずかに存在した。cuticle と上皮細胞との間は, 電子密度の低い一層で隔てられ, 両者にはしばしば hemi-desmosome による接合をみとめた。(2) セメント質部の cuticle は, 根尖側にゆくにしたがってその厚さを減じ, 付着上皮の根尖側最尖端の上皮細胞とセメント質との接触部には cuticle をみとめなかった。(3) セメント質表面の cuticle は ...
