To tread or not to tread: comparison between water treading and conventional flapping wing kinematics [PDF]
, 2022 Hovering insects are limited by their physiology and need to rotate their wings at the end of each back and forth motion to keep the wing's leading edge ahead of its trailing edge. The wing rotation at the end of each half-stroke pushes the leading edge vortex away from the wing which leads to a loss in the lift.

Bone construction surgery: A case report using recombinant human platelet‐derived growth factor‐BB
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 262-269, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background The position and condition of bone largely sets the stage for functional and esthetic implant success. In bone construction surgery, creating a sustainable functional matrix is complex, but necessary, to enable long‐term mechanotransduction and maintenance of soft tissue support.

Feather-inspired flow control: The flow physics of spatially distributed covert flaps [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This study presents a novel spatially disrupted flow control system inspired by the covert feathers on bird wings. The system is a passive flow control system consisting of multiple feather-inspired flaps that dynamically interact with the surrounding flow to mitigate stall.
