The study introduces pDA-nHA/PEKK composites with high strength and bioactivity, surpassing conventional melt blending techniques. The novel approach mimics the hierarchical structure of cortical bone, resulting in enhanced osteo-inductive abilities and mechanical strength.
Researchers monitored disaster risk caused by unstable coal pillars in multi-coal seam mining, finding that their failure can lead to mine earthquakes and collapse. The study provides insights for assessing stability and risk in residual coal pillar-rock formations, highlighting the need for customized application of findings.
Research reveals correlation between muscle fiber diameter and mtDNA copy number across different fish types, suggesting genetic regulation role in shaping phenotypes. Decrease in muscle mtDNA copy number during winter may contribute to growth heterosis of allotriploid fish.
Astronomers have produced the first high-resolution map of a massive explosion in a nearby galaxy, revealing a gas outflow that would take 20,000 years to travel across the galaxy. The discovery provides important clues on how space between galaxies is polluted with chemical elements.
Researchers discovered that gut bacteria can dynamically reprogram gene expression based on local conditions like inflammation or viral attacks. This adaptation strategy may worsen disease by crippling production of molecules that regulate the immune system and attenuate gut inflammation.
Researchers from Technion Faculty of Biomedical Engineering developed a breakthrough method for bio-printing live cells and tissues using external sound wave irradiation. The innovation enables precise localized delivery of biocompatible materials for various biomedical applications, reducing invasive surgeries and associated risks.
