Analyses of Structural Robustness of Prefabricated Modular Buildings: A Case Study on Mid-Rise Building Configurations [PDF]
Buildings, 2022 The limited knowledge of the behaviour of modular buildings subjected to different loading scenarios and thereby lack of design guidelines hinder the growth of modular construction practices despite its widespread benefits.

Growth factor and macromolecular crowding supplementation in human tenocyte culture
Biomaterials and Biosystems, 2021 Cell-assembled tissue engineering strategies hold great potential in regenerative medicine, as three-dimensional tissue-like modules can be produced, even from a patient's own cells. However, the development of such implantable devices requires prolonged

Scaffold-free cell-based tissue engineering therapies: advances, shortfalls and forecast
npj Regenerative Medicine, 2021 Cell-based scaffold-free therapies seek to develop in vitro organotypic three-dimensional (3D) tissue-like surrogates, capitalising upon the inherent capacity of cells to create tissues with efficiency and sophistication that is still unparalleled by ...

Physicochemical cues are not potent regulators of human dermal fibroblast trans-differentiation
Biomaterials and Biosystems, 2023 Due to their inherent plasticity, dermal fibroblasts hold great promise in regenerative medicine. Although biological signals have been well-established as potent regulators of dermal fibroblast function, it is still unclear whether physiochemical cues ...

A combined physicochemical approach towards human tenocyte phenotype maintenance
Materials Today Bio, 2021 During in vitro culture, bereft of their optimal tissue context, tenocytes lose their phenotype and function. Considering that tenocytes in their native tissue milieu are exposed simultaneously to manifold signals, combination approaches (e.g.

ALTERNATIVE HEAT SYSTEMS FOR MODULAR BUILDINGS
Theory and Building Practice, 2022 At present, the problem of energy-saving construction remains extremely relevant. The use of alternative energy sources for heat supply of buildings and structures is one of the ways to solve the problem of rational use of fuel and energy resources.

Battling adhesions: from understanding to prevention
BMC Biomedical Engineering, 2019 Adhesions represent a major burden in clinical practice, particularly following abdominal, intrauterine, pericardial and tendon surgical procedures. Adhesions are initiated by a disruption in the epithelial or mesothelial layer of tissue, which leads to ...
