Friction and Wear Characterizations in Electrospun Nanofibrous Scaffolds for Cartilage Engineering

Nano Select, EarlyView.
Articular cartilage (AC)‐engineered electrospun scaffolds have experienced a surge in interest in publication in recent years. However, nanofiber frictional properties are poorly explored in the existing literature. We evaluated the effect of countersurface, speed, and hydrophilicity on nanofibers.

Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polyacrylamide‐Acrylic Acid Nanocomposite Hydrogels With Superior Mechanical and Tribological Performance as Focal Cartilage Substitute

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Though mimicking cartilage's structure, hydrogels often present weak mechanical performance, which limits their use in cartilage repair. Here, nanocomposite hydrogel was synthesized by incorporating multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a covalently bonded polyacrylamide/polyacrylic acid (PAAm/PAAc) hydrogel. Fourier transform infrared and

Urinary Proteomics and Systems Biology Link Eight Proteins to the Higher Risk of Hypertension and Related Complications in Blacks Versus Whites

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blacks are more prone to salt‐sensitive hypertension than Whites. This cross‐sectional analysis of a multi‐ethnic cohort aimed to search for proteins potentially involved in the susceptibility to salt sensitivity, hypertension, and hypertension‐related complications.

Current Trends and Future Prospects of Integrating Electrospinning With 3D Printing Techniques for Mimicking Bone Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1481-1504, 15 March 2025.
ABSTRACT This article presents a review of the recent findings on the combination of electrospun nanofibers and three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed structures for extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. We explore the synergy between electrospinning (ES), which produces highly porous, fibrous structures from materials like collagen

Proteomic Investigation of Human Dental Pulp to Identify Individuals Who Are Pregnant

PROTEOMICS – Clinical Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biomolecules preserved in dental pulp are increasingly being used to identify individuals in the context of forensics and archaeology. Despite the vast amount of research into host and pathogen DNA, the potential use of physiologically informative proteins preserved in dental pulp has rarely been studied.
