A Comparison of the Mechanical Properties of ECM Components and Synthetic Self‐Assembling Peptides

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐assembling peptide hydrogels are increasingly utilized in biomedical applications. The authors review the key mechanical properties of these structures across multiple size scales and compare them to that of native extracellular matrix components, which are found to display a much wider range of structural attributes.

Assessing Population Structure and Signatures of Selection in Wanbei Pigs Using Whole Genome Resequencing Data

Animals, 2022
Wanbei pig (WBP) is one of the indigenous pig resources in China and has many germplasm characteristics. However, research on its genome is lacking. To assess the genomic variation, population structure, and selection signatures, we resequenced 18 WBP ...

Controlled Release of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes from Hydrogels Attenuates Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Exosomes can reduce tissue damage in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA), but rapid clearance limits their efficacy. This study encapsulates exosomes in hyaluronic acid hydrogels for controlled release. In a rat model, hydrogel‐encapsulated exosomes outperform free exosomes in preserving bone integrity and reducing tissue destruction ...

Predicting pigging operations in oil pipelines [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
This paper presents an innovative machine learning methodology that leverages on long-term vibroacoustic measurements to perform automated predictions of the needed pigging operations in crude oil trunklines. Historical pressure signals have been collected by Eni (e-vpms monitoring system) for two years on discrete points at a relative distance of 30 ...

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

Non‐Surgical, In‐Stent Membrane Bioelectronics for Long‐Term Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This image shows a sequence of long‐term intracranial pressure monitoring using non‐surgical, in‐stent membrane bioelectronics. Abstract Traditional intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring methods, using intraventricular catheters, face significant limitations, including high invasiveness, discrete data, calibration complexities, and drift issues, which

Injectable 2D‐MoS2‐integrated Bioadhesive Hydrogel as Photothermal‐Derived and Drug‐Delivery Implant for Colorectal Cancer Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An injectable, adhesive hydrogel integrating 2D‐MoS2 and 5‐fluorouracil (AlgNB/MoS2/5‐FU) is developed for near‐infrared‐triggered photothermal therapy and localized drug delivery. The adhesive hydrogel demonstrates superior tumor anchoring, efficient photothermal conversion, and synergistic inhibition of colorectal cancer progression, offering a ...

Organoid‐Like Neurovascular Spheroids Promote the Recovery of Hypoxic‐Ischemic Skin Flaps Through the Activation of Autophagy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Highly sprouting organoid‐like neurovascular spheroids (NVUs) are developed, featuring cell‐loaded poly‐3‐hydroxybutyrate 4‐hydroxybutyrate(P34HB) porous microsphere cores embedded within Gelatin Methacryloyl. NVUs formed complex vascular plexuses and secreted extracellular matrix in vitro, simulating autologous nerves and blood interaction.

A non-iterative algorithm for generalized Pig games [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We provide a polynomial algorithm to find the value and an optimal strategy for a generalization of the Pig game. Modeled as a competitive Markov decision process, the corresponding Bellman equations can be decoupled leading to systems of two non-linear equations with two unknowns. In this way we avoid the classical iterative approaches.

Analysis of hybridization in French wild boar populations using genome-wide genotyping data [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
The "genetic purity" of French wild boar populations has been monitored since the 1980s based on a cytogenetic difference between wild boars and domestic pigs (36 and 38 chromosomes, respectively). This difference makes it possible to identify any boar with 37 or 38 chromosomes as "hybrid", without however being able to determine the origin (recent or ...
