A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides
Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.

On the Effect of Human-Computer Interfaces on Language Expression [PDF]
Language expression is known to be dependent on attributes intrinsic to the author. To date, however, little attention has been devoted to the effect of interfaces used to articulate language on its expression. Here we study a large corpus of text written using different input devices and show that writers unconsciously prefer different letters ...

The PVA‐GA hydrogel is formed through hydrogen bonding between PVA hydroxyl groups and GA galloyl units, enabling sustainable GA release and its extended biological activity. The hydrogel scavenges ROS to reduce oxidative stress, preventing mitochondrial damage from excessive ROS, mitigating hADSC senescence, and preserving VEGF secretion, offering a ...

Schematic illustration of the mechanism of targeted delivery of nanoparticles including 1) paracellular, 2) endolysosomal escape, 3) receptor mediated endocytosis, and 4) M cell mediated transport for non‐GI diseases by oral administration such as atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, and brain diseases. Abstract Oral drug delivery is a promising approach

Nail Bed Reconstruction Using Synthetic Matrix: A Case Series
Injuries to fingertips are one of the most common hand injuries treated in medical settings. Traditional treatment options often have disadvantages, such as increased risk of infection, high cost, and donor-site morbidity.

Towards Safe Robot Use with Edged or Pointed Objects: A Surrogate Study Assembling a Human Hand Injury Protection Database [PDF]
The use of pointed or edged tools or objects is one of the most challenging aspects of today's application of physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). One reason for this is that the severity of harm caused by such edged or pointed impactors is less well studied than for blunt impactors.

Misrepair mechanism: a mechanism essential for individual adaptation, species adaptation and species evolution [PDF]
In Misrepair-accumulation theory, we have proposed a Misrepair mechanism for interpreting aging. However, Misrepair mechanism is also important in biological adaptation. Misrepair is a strategy of repair for increasing the surviving chance of an organism when it suffers from severe injuries.
