Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality
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
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 ...

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
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.

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 ...
