Growth Evaluation Procedure for Interacting Semi-Elliptical Surface Cracks

Journal of the Society of Materials Science, Japan, 2006
In stress corrosion cracking, many surface cracks are initiated and the interaction between the cracks affects on crack growth behavior. Therefore, influence of the interaction on crack growth has to be taken into account in fitness-for-service evaluation.

Structural Guidance in 3D Microgel‐in‐Hydrogel Systems to Improve Chondrogenesis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 29, 7 August 2026.
The Anisogel, an anisotropic microgel‐in‐hydrogel system, guides chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) modulated by the alignment and size of anisometric microgels. Chondrogenic markers are upregulated in an in vitro model and guided tissue infiltration is enhanced in a semi‐orthopedic mouse model due to the physico ...

Isolation of Kombucha Microorganisms for Application in Perilla Beverage Fermentation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Five commercial kombucha samples from Vietnam were screened, yielding 37 isolates (22 AAB, 6 LAB, 9 yeasts). Three representative strains—Komagataeibacter saccharivorans, Levilactobacillus brevis, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus—were identified and combined into a defined starter consortium (yeast: AAB: LAB = 2:2:1).
