Novel Functional Materials via 3D Printing by Vat Photopolymerization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This Perspective systematically analyzes strategies for incorporating functionalities into 3D‐printed materials via Vat Photopolymerization (VP). It explores the spectrum of achievable functionalities in recently reported novel materials—such as conductive, energy‐storing, biodegradable, stimuli‐responsive, self‐healing, shape‐memory, biomaterials, and

Integrated Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Analyses Implicate Key Genes and Metabolic Pathways in Maize Lodging Resistance

Agriculture
Maize stalk lodging causes substantial yield losses worldwide. Although stalk strength is a genetically determined trait, its molecular mechanisms—particularly the dynamic changes during key developmental stages—remain inadequately characterized due to ...

Incorporating different proportions of exotic maize germplasm into two adapted populations. [PDF]

, 2018
Maize breeders frequently wish to use exotic germplasm in their breeding programs without losing specific characteristics of their adapted material. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal proportions of exotic germplasm to incorporate ...

Ultrasound‐Triggered Gelation for Restoring Biomechanical Properties of Degenerated Functional Spinal Units

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an innovative approach to treating intervertebral disc degeneration using ultrasound‐triggered in situ hydrogel formation. Proof‐of‐concept experiments using optimized biomaterial and ultrasound parameters demonstrate partial restoration of biomechanical function and successful integration into degenerated disc tissue, offering a ...

Sorghum bicolor L. Stalk Stiffness Is Marginally Affected by Time of Day under Field Conditions

Agriculture
This study sought to better understand how time of day (ToD) or turgor pressure might affect the flexural stiffness of sweet sorghum stalks and potentially regulate stalk lodging resistance.

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

The Stalker: An open source force meter for rapid stalk strength phenotyping

HardwareX, 2019
Plant breeding programs use easily measured traits to determine plant selection for the next cycle of testing. Often ratings (1–10) are used for generalized biomechanical properties such as lodging, the act of a plant falling over due to environmental ...
