Miniaturized Devices for On‐the‐Spot Generation of Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts
An intracorporeal extrusion device is developed for on‐the‐spot generation of vascular grafts with tunable diameters spanning from 1 to 6 mm. The device uses biomimetic polymers and light, to promptly obtaining biocompatible and high‐burst pressure‐resistant grafts.

Improvement of seed germination of Fagus orientalis Lipsky [PDF]
This thesis was seeking two main approaches for improvement of seed germination of oriental beech, a timber producing species in Hyrcanian forests in northern Iran. Germination behavior of beechnuts was enhanced either by decreasing the dormancy breakage

Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using “-omics” approaches support the finding that a main contributor of seed germination success is the quality of the messenger RNAs stored during embryo maturation on the mother ...

A sustainable approach is reported for upcycling PET waste into thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE)‐based films with advanced properties, specifically designed for applications in strain sensing, conductivity, and photothermal response. Through a layer‐by‐layer deposition technique, TPEE films are fabricated with bio‐compatible chitosan (CH) or ...

Identification and Characterization of the PEBP Family Genes in Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla). [PDF]
Moso bamboo is one of the economically most important plants in China. Moso bamboo is a monocarpic perennial that exhibits poor and slow germination. Thus, the flowering often causes destruction of moso bamboo forestry.

This work shows a study on SrF2:Yb3+, Er3+ water colloid, additionally doped with transition metals (Sc3+ or Zn2+) to enhance observed emission, tested during 22 weeks of storage in ambient conditions. Due to high stability, excellent optical properties achieved under 975 nm excitation, and negligible phytotoxicity, the nanoparticles are applied for ...

Strong Coupling‐Induced Topological Edge‐State Laser in 1D High‐Contrast Grating
This study manipulates lattice constants and filling factors in 1D high‐contrast gratings to induce strong and weak coupling, enabling topological and trivial states. Demonstrating topological edge‐state lasers with improved robustness, lower thresholds, and narrower linewidths, the design supports novel topological laser cavity advancements ...

Researchers develop advanced tools to study grapevine traits like berry quality and stress resilience. A 200K SNP array and high‐throughput phenotyping enable the identification of loci linked to berry shape, sugar content, acidity, and cold tolerance. Functional validation of genes such as NAC08 reveals roles in cold tolerance.
