Skeletal and Extraskeletal Actions of Vitamin D: Current Evidence and Outstanding Questions

Endocrine reviews, 2018
The etiology of endemic rickets was discovered a century ago. Vitamin D is the precursor of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and other metabolites, including 1,25(OH)2D, the ligand for the vitamin D receptor (VDR).

Laser‐Induced Structuring of Biocompatible Polymers for the Controlled Orientation of Multinucleated Myotubes

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Laser structuring of biocompatible polymers creates precise surface patterns that influence cell organization. By imaging, contact angle measurements, and chemical analysis, this study demonstrates the ability of laser‐induced micro‐structured surfaces to guide muscle cell alignment. These findings support laser patterning of biopolymers as a promising

Implantable Microarray Patch: Engineering at the Nano and Macro Scale for Sustained Therapeutic Release via Synthetic Biodegradable Polymers

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This review focuses on the application of synthetic biodegradable microarray patches (MAPs) in sustained drug delivery. Compared to conventional MAPs which release drugs into the skin in an immediate manner, these implantable MAPs release drugs into skin microcirculation gradually as the biodegradable polymers degrade, thus offering sustained release ...

Artificially Weaved Textile‐like Surface Micromachined Graphene‐Polymer Flexible Bioelectrodes

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study reports on the engineering of microscale textured surfaces of SU‐8/PMMA polymer composites much like a “weft‐warp” pattern to resemble “artificially‐weaved” textiles. These microstructured surfaces enable conformal layering of functional reduced graphene oxide (rGO), all‐in‐all offering favorable features including remarkable self ...
