Abstract Human hair is laminar-fibrous tissue and an evolutionarily old keratinization product of follicle trichocytes. Studies on the proteome can give new insights into function lead to development novel biomarkers for in health disease. proteins were extracted by detergent detergent-free techniques. We adopted a shotgun proteomics approach, which demonstrated large extractability variety after extraction. found enrichment keratin, keratin-associated (KAPs), intermediate filament proteins,...
The rapid development of additive manufacturing and advances in shape memory materials have fueled the progress four-dimensional (4D) printing. With increasing improvements design, reversible 4D printing—or two-way printing—has been proven to be feasible. This technology will fully eliminate need for human interference, as programming is completely driven by external stimuli, which allows 4D-printed parts actuated multiple cycles. study proposes a new printing actuation method. swelling an...
Three-dimensional food printing offers the possibility of modifying structural design, nutrition, and texture food, which may be used for consumers with special dietary requirements such as dysphagic patients. One matrices that can liquid delivery to patients is foams. Foams are widely in different products adjust density, rheological properties, texture. allow stay mouth sufficient time provide hydration while minimizing danger choking. Our work studies foam properties printability both egg...
4D printing provides a means to create dynamic structures for self-actuating devices fabricated by additive manufacturing techniques. Most existing processes are only capable of one-way shape morphing using single mechanism stimulation. In the limited successful reversible 4D-printing studies, most demonstrate 2D-to-3D morphing. This study introduces contactless setting empower combination stimuli. The forward programming is realised asymmetric swelling with heated ethanol, and recovery...
Biodegradable polycarbonate-based ABA triblock copolyelectrolytes were synthesized and formulated into physically cross-linked hydrogels. These biocompatible, cationically, anionically charged hydrogel materials exhibited pronounced shear-thinning behavior, making them useful for a variety of biomedical applications. For example, we investigated the antimicrobial activity positively thiouronium functionalized hydrogels by microbial growth inhibition assays against several clinically relevant...
