Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 1949-1964, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Sodium is an allosteric modulator of several class‐A GPCR regulating active versus inactive conformation state and may be a critical issue for the optimization of crystallization procedures. Herein, the role of Na+ in the regulation of GPR17 conformational states was studied through MD simulations of GPR17 wild‐type and mutated on two ...

Fabrication of Polypropylene/CNF Composite Foam by Foam Extrusion With Chemical Blowing Agent

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 42, November 10, 2026.
Polypropylene/CNF composite foams were fabricated by a foam extrusion process using a chemical foaming method. The addition of CNFs resulted in finer and higher‐density cell structures, even at low chemical blowing agent concentrations. Furthermore, X‐ray CT and SEM observations revealed a unique spike‐like cell structure generated by the penetration ...

Effect of Veil Interlayer Type and Placement on the Mechanical Response of Carbon and Glass Fiber/Epoxy Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 21, Page 19261-19282, 10 November 2026.
Veil interlayers of five different chemistries (PI, FG, PPS, PEI, PEEK) were placed at two through‐thickness positions in carbon and glass fiber/epoxy laminates and evaluated under interlaminar shear (ILSS), three‐point bending (3PB) and axial buckling loading. The optimum placement was found to be loading mode dependent: near‐surface placement favored

Bioinspired Hydrogels with Broadly Programmable Mechanics for Soft‐Tissue Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 88, 2 November 2026.
Sea cucumber‐inspired gelatin hydrogels are formed by directional freezing and mechanically programmed through subsequent ionic treatment. Multiscale characterization and modeling link ion‐regulated chain interactions to directional load transfer within the aligned hierarchical architecture.

Fabrication of Aligned Polycaprolactone Nanofibrillar Bundles to Control Cell‐Mediated Collagen Deposition in Engineered Cartilage

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 62, 6 November 2026.
Melt electrofibrillation (MEF) enables the fabrication of nanofibrillar PCL scaffolds with defined architectures that guide cellular alignment and retention during cartilage tissue engineering. Unlike conventional melt electrowriting, MEF consistently directs collagen type II‐rich extracellular matrix organization, providing a tunable platform to ...
