Abstract Research on cultured meat has primarily focused the mass proliferation or differentiation of muscle cells; thus, food characteristics remain relatively underexplored. As quality is determined by its organoleptic properties, with similar sensory to animal-derived highly desirable. In this study, we control and nutritional properties tailoring 2D primary bovine myoblasts adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells gelatin/alginate scaffolds varying stiffness. We assess effect adipose meat....
Edible scaffolds are needed in cultured meat to mimic meat's three-dimensional structure by organizing cells and replenishing the insufficient mass of alone. However, there is still a large gap between slaughtered developed into tissues using scaffolds. This mainly due difference size, texture, flavor, taste. In this study, we develop coating matrix modify surface textured vegetable protein (TVP), cell support, produce having essential characteristics. We optimized fish gelatin/agar matrix's...
For cultured meat to effectively replace traditional meat, it is essential develop scaffolds that replicate key attributes of real such as taste, nutrition, flavor, and texture. However, one the significant challenges in replicating characteristics with lies considerable gap between stiffness preferred by cells textural properties desired humans. To address this issue, we focused on microscale environment conducive cell growth macro-scale favored This led development adaptive...
Demand for a new protein source to replace meat is increasing solve various issues such as limited resources and food shortages. Diverse sources are being developed, but alternative proteins plants or insects need improve people's perceptions organoleptic properties. Therefore, cell-based research intensively conducted, most studies aimed at scale-up cost-down via the of scaffolds culture media. Here, we proposed by cell powder (CPM), which has high content meaty flavor. The was manufactured...
Guided bone regeneration aided by the application of occlusive membranes is a promising therapy for diverse inflammatory periodontal diseases. Symbiosis, homeostasis between host microbiome and cells, occurs in oral environment under normal, but not pathologic, conditions. Here, we develop symbiotically integrating membrane mimicking tooth enamel growth or multiple nucleation biomineralization processes. We perform human saliva vivo canine experiments to confirm that induces symbiotic...
Cultured meat is emerging as a new type of food that can provide animal protein in sustainable way. Many previous studies employed various types scaffolds to develop cultured with similar properties slaughtered meat. However, important such flavor were not discussed, even though they determine the quality food. Flavor characteristics vary dramatically depending on amount and amino acids sugars produce volatile compounds through Maillard reaction upon cooking. In this study, flavor-switchable...
Abstract Bioprosthetic valves are employed to replace defective heart valves. However, structural degeneration is prevalent in bioprosthetic because the valve leaflets exposed extreme and repetitive cardiovascular pressure. Herein, a silk fibroin‐based leaflet, which executes physiological role of valve, developed. To this end, templated assembly technology Notably, physically optimal hierarchical structure for replacing natural leaflet realized by numerous firmly stacked β‐sheet crystals...
The Liesegang pattern is a beautiful natural anisotropic patterning phenomenon observed in rocks and sandstones. This study reveals that the can induce nonlinear elasticity. Here, Liesegang-patterned complex with biomineral-hydrogel repetitive layers prepared. obtained only when biomineralization performed under supersaturated conditions. features elastic response, whereas single biomineral shell shows linear behavior, thus demonstrating essential achieving stiff have buffered concentrated...
Medical plastic-appliance-based healthcare services, especially in dentistry, generate tremendous amounts of plastic waste. Given the physiological features our mouth, it is desirable to substitute dental care plastics with viscoelastic and antimicrobial bioplastics. Herein, we develop a medical-grade sustainable bioplastic that enough align tooth positions, resists microbial contamination, exhibits recyclable life cycles. In particular, devise molecular template involving...
Cell-based protein sources are considered promising future food materials due to their nutritional potential and sustainability. However, the process of massive cell proliferation, which involves an expensive culture medium is time-consuming, slows development cell-based foods. Herein, we report on cost-effective media prepared from egg whites, microalgae, silk extracts. The developed showed proliferation efficiency similar that conventional group while maintaining bovine myoblasts in...
Heart Valve Leaflets In article number 2307106, Sangmin Lee, Se Yong Jung, Jinkee Hong, and co-workers present a silk fibroin-based heart valve leaflet. Notably, it exhibits hierarchical structure physically optimal for replacing the natural An aortic composed of leaflets shows an excellent performance, demonstrating its potential as cost-effective reliable cardiovascular device.
When individuals engage in social contexts such as attending a college basketball game, opportunities to enrich and broaden connections with others often transpire. The University of Notre Dame Women's Basketball (NDWB) program has comparably larger more loyal fan base than most universities the country, which older women comprise big portion season ticket holders. purpose this study was investigate motivations meanings being NDWB holder among women. Nineteen participants ages 55–85 years...
Abstract As the technologies for treating diseases are attracting continuous attention, physical therapy methods, particularly electrical stimulation (ES), have been widely investigated owing to their high effectiveness. ES essentially requires an external power source, various efforts being devoted achieving application of human body using nanogenerators. Various studies verified effect by applying same output generated device in vitro and vivo bio‐electrical stimulation. However, it is...
In nature, water is vital for maintaining homeostasis. Particularly, organisms (e.g., plant leaf, bird feather) exploit fluidics motions. Hydration-adaptive crystallization the representative water-responsive actuation of biopolymers. This has inspired development intelligent human-robot interfaces. At same time, it hinders consistent adhesion tissue adhesive. As hydration-adaptive inevitable, on-demand control desirable in innovative biopolymeric biomedical systems. To this end, study...

Abstract Leisure activities can contribute to healthy aging (An et al., 2022). However, little research exists on leisure with soft stigma (Kraus, 2010). Yet, social dancing in Colatec (i.e., Korean daytime discos for older adults) is becoming more popular among Koreans. Using qualitative methods, we examined how affects adults’ aging. Thirteen participants aged 60 75 who regularly dance at Colatecs voluntarily participated an in-depth semi-structured interview that lasted between 45...
