Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Impaired implantation as a major upstream pathway of preeclampsia: a narrative synthesis of mechanistic, epidemiological and biomarker evidence

Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Preeclampsia (PE) remains a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity worldwide. Although abnormal placentation and shallow trophoblast invasion are well recognized, increasing evidence suggests that the origins of PE lie earlier, at the stage of ...

A Critical Call for Mechanistic Investigations of Metal‐Bacteria Interactions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
It is well established that the antibacterial properties of metals have tremendous importance for bioengineering applications. What is not as appreciated, however, is the reproducibility crisis in this field's vast literature. In this perspective, we highlight this reproducibility problem, discuss its sources, and suggest solutions towards focused ...
