INTERACTIONS BETWEEN MASTICATION AND STRESS [PDF]
The main neuroendocrine response to stress is via activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis that contribute to the release of glucocorticoid hormone and ACTH.

Fatty acid bioaccessibility and structural breakdown from in vitro digestion of almond particles. [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that the size of almond particles influences lipid bioaccessibility during digestion. However, the extent of structural breakdown of almond particles during gastric digestion and its impact on lipid bioaccessibility is unclear.

Wear of human teeth: a tribological perspective [PDF]
The four main types of wear in teeth are attrition (enamel-on-enamel contact), abrasion (wear due to abrasive particles in food or toothpaste), abfraction (cracking in enamel and subsequent material loss), and erosion (chemical decomposition of the tooth)

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic
