Modified Titanium Dental Implants: The Current Progress of Soft‐Tissue Integration Methods
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.Dental implants are an established solution for tooth loss, yet achieving soft tissue integration (STI) around the transmucosal region remains a challenge. The natural tooth–gingiva interface is poorly replicated on titanium implants. This review explores surface modification strategies, ranging from surface chemistry and topography to biological ...

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.A genome analysis revealed the presence of many bacterial‐type terpene synthases in springtails. Four enzymes from Sinella curviseta were functionally characterised, resulting in the isolation of several compounds including sinellene ether, the first diterpene ether identified from a terpene synthase that represents a novel skeleton.

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.The mechanism and kinetics of selective GaAs growth on Si nanotip wafers via nanoheteroepitaxy were investigated as a function of pitch (center‐to‐center nanotip spacing). The pitch dependence reveals distinct surface‐diffusion‐controlled regimes, demonstrating that lateral Ga adatom transport on the SiO2 mask governs material redistribution and ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Frontiers in Bird ScienceVultures provide essential environmental services by eliminating animal carcass remains and preventing the spread of diseases, but unfortunately, many African vulture species have exhibited significant population declines and are now in imminent danger ...
