Healthy but not osteoarthritic human meniscus-derived matrix scaffolds promote meniscus repair

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Meniscus tissue is commonly injured due to sports-related injuries and age-related degeneration and approximately 50% of individuals with a meniscus tear will develop post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).

Influence of Micropillar Height Modulation on Droplet Evaporation and Wetting State Transitions

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Controlling droplet evaporation dynamics is crucial across many fields. Here, it demonstrates laser‐fabricated polymer micropillar arrays with tailored height variations to regulate evaporation behavior. While all arrays exhibit superhydrophobic wetting, their distinct height profiles effectively slow evaporation and alter evaporation modes ...

Nonequilibrium Period with Emergence of Marangoni Circulations in Meniscus Splitting

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The emergence and evolution of Marangoni convection in the meniscus splitting phenomenon are investigated. During the mass circulation of viscous fluids, the confluence and bifurcation of polymer dispersions beneath the evaporative interface lead to the inhomogeneous densification of the skin layer.
