Immunoinflammatory Mechanisms and Biocompatibility of Bioactive Dental Biomaterials: From Fundamental Insights to Clinical Translation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐host dialogue at the implant interface governs biological fate and osseointegration. Surface physicochemical properties of titanium (Ti) dental implants, including microgrooves, nanopatterns, nanotopography, roughness, and wettability, modulate the initial adsorption of proteins and the formation of a dynamic biointerface.

Thermodynamic Limits to Molecular Doping in Conjugated Polymers: A Perspective on Phase Behavior and Miscibility

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular doping of conjugated polymers is fundamentally constrained by thermodynamic phase behavior. This Perspective reframes doping efficiency and stability in terms of miscibility limits, binodals, and solvus boundaries, highlighting the role of effective interaction parameters and charge transfer.

Inferential Processes in English and the Question whether English has Modal Particles

Open Linguistics, 2018
In this paper, we ask whether English pragmatic markers may evoke similar inferential processes in discourse as German modal particles, studying alright/all right, already and then in more detail. Moreover, we investigate whether specific formal features

Pragmatic Marker Combinations: An Investigation of the Co-Occurrence with the Pragmatic Marker Well

World Journal of English Language
This research examined the use of pragmatic marker combinations (PMCs) that co-occurred with the pragmatic marker (PM) well by both Chinese and Thai advanced-level learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). In total, 40 Chinese and 40 Thai participants were involved in this research.
