Linea alba 3D morphometric variability by CT scan exploration [PDF]

Hernia, 2024, 28 (2), pp.485-494
Purpose: The width of the Linea alba, which is often gauged by inter-rectus distance, is a key risk factor for incisional hernia and recurrence. Previous studies provided limited descriptions with no consideration for width, location variability, or curvature.

Crossover from Reptation to Rouse dynamics in the Extended Rubinstein-Duke Model [PDF]

, 2008
The competition between reptation and Rouse Dynamics is incorporated in the Rubinstein-Duke model for polymer motion by extending it with sideways motions, which cross barriers and create or annihilate hernias. Using the Density-Matrix Renormalization-Group Method as solver of the Master Equation, the renewal time and the diffusion coefficient are ...

Outermost Cationic Surface Charge of Layer‐by‐Layer Films Prevents Endothelial Cells Migration for Cell Compartmentalization in Three‐Dimensional Tissues

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A nanometer‐sized artificial basement membrane (A‐BM) is developed to replicate the barrier functions of the basement membrane and prevent cell migration. It is demonstrated that the outermost cationic surface charge of nanofilms can effectively inhibit endothelial cell migration and sprouting, allowing for the construction of 3D patterned vascular ...

Synergistic Modulating of Mitochondrial Transfer and Immune Microenvironment to Attenuate Discogenic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gallic acid (GA) and copper ions self‐assemble to form nanoparticles, which are then modified with mitochondrial targeting peptides and gap junction modulator. These nanoparticles scavenge mitochondrial reactive oxygen species to induce M2 polarization and enhance intercellular mitochondrial transfer.

Self-organising maps in the analysis of strains of human abdominal wall to identify areas of similar mechanical behaviour [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The study refers to the application of a type of artificial neural network called the Self-Organising Map (SOM) for the identification of areas of the human abdominal wall that perform in a similar mechanical way. The research was based on data acquired during in vivo tests using the digital image correlation technique (DIC).

Electrospun nanofiber mesh with connective tissue growth factor and mesenchymal stem cells for pelvic floor repair: Long‐term study

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 392-401, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) affects many women, with an estimated lifetime risk of surgical intervention of 18.7%. There is a need for alternative approaches as the use of synthetic nondegradable mesh was stopped due to severe adverse events, and as current methods for pelvic floor repair have high POP recurrence rates.
