Reaction Wood Anatomical Traits and Hormonal Profiles in Poplar Bent Stem and Root

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Reaction wood (RW) formation is an innate physiological response of woody plants to counteract mechanical constraints in nature, reinforce structure and redirect growth toward the vertical direction.

3D Bioprinted Glioblastoma Multiforme Models: How the Extracellular Matrix Glycosignature Influences Drug Response

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Aberrant glycosylation in the glioblastoma tumor microenvironment drives therapeutic resistance. Here, a 3D bioprinted model was engineered by incorporating α‐NeuNAc‐(2→3)‐β‐D‐Gal‐ and chondroitin sulfate. Combined multiplex immunofluorescence and synchrotron‐based nanoCT analysis revealed that glycan‐matrix interactions dictate specific drug‐escape ...

Zones of Gelatinous Fibers in Populus Balsamifera L. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Although balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) is a logical supplement to the aspen (Fopulus tremuloides Michx.) resource for the manufacture of oriented strandboard (OSB), it has not been utilized extensively because of reported machining problems. The

Study on the physical properties and functions of the gelatinous layer in tension wood of Zelkova serrata Makino [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
2003-12The role of the gelatinous layer on the physical properties peculiar to the tension wood such as a high longitudinal tensile growth stress, a large Young’s modulus, and a high shrinkage was investigated. Released strains on the surface of xylem of

Mechanical Programming of PEGDA‐β‐CD Polyrotaxane‐Based Hydrogels via Host–Guest Molecular Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically programmable hydrogel for tissue engineering is developed by modulating the molecular threading density of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate‐β‐cyclodextrin (PEGDA‐β‐CD) polyrotaxane and combining it with β‐CD‐modified gelatin. The polyrotaxane‐guided transition from disordered pores to laminar microstructures enables precise tuning ...

Matrix-free human 2D organoids recapitulate duodenal barrier and transport properties

open access: yesBMC Biology
Background Traditionally, transformed cell line monolayers have been the standard model for studying epithelial barrier and transport function. Recently, intestinal organoids were proposed as superior in recapitulating the intestine.

An Integrated Oxygen‐Supplying Device and Predictive Multiphysics Model for Extended Ambient Transport of Insulin‐Producing Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell therapies typically rely on cold‐chain logistics and cryopreservation, limiting access and compromising cell quality. Here, a dual‐chamber device separates an oxygen‐supplying chamber from a hyaluronic acid cargo chamber, sustaining oxygen delivery for over 70 h and enabling ambient‐temperature shipment.

Hydrogel‐Based 3D‐Printed Anthropomorphic Breast Phantom for Emulating Mechanical and Dielectric Properties of Mammary Tissue. Applications in Microwave Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printable breast phantom is developed using patient‐derived MRI data and hydrogels that replicate the dielectric properties of healthy and cancerous tissues. Mechanical and dielectric characterization confirm its suitability for microwave imaging.

First record of a cirrate octopus (Cephalopoda: Cirroteuthidae) in the Argentine Basin (Uruguay)

open access: yesMarine and Fishery Sciences
We report live observations of Cirrothauma cf. murrayi, the unique ‘blind cirrate octopus’ at a depth of 3,122 m depth during a SuBastian dive aboard RV ‘Falkor (too)’ in the Economic Exclusive Zone of Uruguay.

Bioinspired Hydrogels with Broadly Programmable Mechanics for Soft‐Tissue Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber‐inspired gelatin hydrogels are formed by directional freezing and mechanically programmed through subsequent ionic treatment. Multiscale characterization and modeling link ion‐regulated chain interactions to directional load transfer within the aligned hierarchical architecture.
