Recent progress in biobased synthetic textile fibers
Frontiers in Materials, 2022 The use of synthetic fibers in our daily life is growing continuously; however, the excessive dependence of these chemical fibers on petroleum-based chemicals will lead to large consumption of non-renewable resources.

Information-Theoretic Registration with Explicit Reorientation of Diffusion-Weighted Images
, 2021 We present an information-theoretic approach to the registration of images with directional information, and especially for diffusion-Weighted Images (DWI), with explicit optimization over the directional scale.

Spherical deconvolution of multichannel diffusion MRI data with non-Gaussian noise models and spatial regularization [PDF]
, 2015 Spherical deconvolution (SD) methods are widely used to estimate the intra-voxel white-matter fiber orientations from diffusion MRI data. However, while some of these methods assume a zero-mean Gaussian distribution for the underlying noise, its real ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Effect of natural silk fibers and synthetic fiber-reinforced composites on the cytotoxicity of fibroblast cell lines [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental ProspectsBackground. Synthetic fibers have many benefits in clinical practice; however, they cause microplastic pollution, and their unaffordable price increases treatment costs. Natural silk fibers require biocompatibility assessment. This study investigated the

Biotechnological modification and functionalisation of polyester surfaces [PDF]
, 2008 Synthetic fibers form an important part of the textile industry, the production of polyester alone surpassing that of cotton. A disadvantage of synthetic fibers is their low hydrophilicity. Polyester fibers are particularly hydrophobic.
