A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Interconnected Porous Hydrogels with Tunable Anisotropy Through Aqueous Emulsion Bioprinting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D bioprintable microporous bioink is developed using an aqueous two‐phase system (ATPS) composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) mimetic biopolymers. The ATPS bioink enables the fabrication of interconnected porous architectures with up to 70% porosity, supporting long‐term cell viability and 3D cell alignment, enabling a simultaneous generation of ...

Acute Lateral Ankle Sprain Impairs Function and Strength Without Altering Muscle or Tendon Stiffness: A Controlled Observational Study

Orthopaedic Surgery
Introduction Acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS) frequently results in persistent functional limitations. Understanding changes in calf muscle and Achilles tendon (AT) stiffness after LAS may shed light on mechanisms underlying impaired function.
