Extracellular fluid viscosity influences the mechanics and migration of MDA‐MB‐231 cells in a macromolecule‐dependent manner

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Macromolecule‐dependent increases in extracellular fluid viscosity alter cell phenotype. These distinct macromolecules create different extracellular environments that modulate cell morphology and mechanoprotein expression, migration and invasion capacity, and cellular mechanical properties.

Strengthening of steel I-Section girder web with depth discontinuity against localized buckling

Fracture and Structural Integrity
Stepped steel girders and beams with a jump in section depth are highly susceptible to local web buckling at the step location. Although tapered steel girders have been studied extensively by researchers, abruptly stepped steel girders have been very ...

Designing PLA/PHBV Implants With Degradation Matched to Normal or Inflammatory Tissues

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.
PLA/PHBV blends are investigated under simulated normal and pathological conditions. Multivariate statistical analysis decouples the competing effects of water‐uptake‐driven hydrolysis and crystallinity‐imposed barriers. Melt‐state rheological parameters serve as structural probes linking phase morphology to degradation kinetics. A semi‐empirical model

Surviving the Nucleus Pulposus Desert: Next‐Generation Strategies for Intervertebral Disc Cell Therapy

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACTBackgroundLow back pain remains the leading cause of disability worldwide, with intervertebral disc degeneration representing a major biological contributor. Although cell‐based therapies have shown promise in preclinical models, clinical translation has yielded modest and inconsistent outcomes.

Improved Performance on Inverted V Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBF) by Implementing Shear Link and Installing Web Stiffener in Link

Aceh International Journal of Science and Technology
Eccentrically Braced Frame (EBF) is a structural system that is advised to be built in seismically active areas since they are characterized by good stiffness and ductility.

Patient‐Reported Outcomes of Palatopharyngeal Surgery Without Tonsillectomy: A Meta‐Analysis

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3706-3717, September 2026.
Palatopharyngeal surgery without tonsillectomy leads to clinically meaningful improvements in daytime sleepiness and snoring, but patient‐reported outcomes vary markedly by surgical technique. Suture‐based procedures, muscle relocation, cold‐steel approaches, and powered instruments show the largest and durable benefits, with no evidence of effect ...

Survival Analysis of Fatigue Lifetime in Aged Elastomers Using Weibull and Cox Regression Models

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 3854-3873, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Fatigue tests conducted on elastomers inherently exhibit significant variability. Aging may induce stiffening and embrittlement, leading to premature failures outside the specimen gauge length and resulting in right‐censored data. Combined with the limited number of specimens, this leads to large uncertainties in fatigue lifetime estimation ...

A Review of Mechanical Reinforcement and Piezoresistive Self‐Sensing in Carbon Nanotube Fiber Composites

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 16, Page 14313-14338, 20 August 2026.
PSPP‐TRL mapping of CNT‐modified CFRP literature, with four recurring confusions resolved and five scale‐up problems quantified. ABSTRACT Carbon nanotube‐modified fiber composites are often presented as a route to stronger, tougher, and self‐sensing structural materials.

Structural Guidance in 3D Microgel‐in‐Hydrogel Systems to Improve Chondrogenesis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 29, 7 August 2026.
The Anisogel, an anisotropic microgel‐in‐hydrogel system, guides chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) modulated by the alignment and size of anisometric microgels. Chondrogenic markers are upregulated in an in vitro model and guided tissue infiltration is enhanced in a semi‐orthopedic mouse model due to the physico ...

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including
