Homogeneous PHB–SF Electrospun Scaffolds as an Alternative to Synthetic Mesh for Stress Urinary Incontinence

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Homogeneous polyhydroxybutyrate–silk fibroin electrospun scaffolds combine the favorable biological activity of silk fibroin with the mechanical strength of polyhydroxybutyrate. The resulting fibers support fibroblast attachment and organized extracellular matrix formation while providing tunable, tissue‐relevant mechanics, demonstrating a promising ...

Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.
