Abstract Recreating human tissues and organs in the petri dish to establish models as tools biomedical sciences has gained momentum. These can provide insight into mechanisms of physiology, disease onset, progression, improve drug target validation, well development new medical therapeutics. Transformative materials play an important role this evolution, they be programmed direct cell behavior fate by controlling activity bioactive molecules material properties. Using nature inspiration,...
Responsive colloidal microgel-catalysts were applied to an aldol reaction study how temperature and the effect of cononsolvency can be used as triggers modulate rates in homogenous phase on liquid–liquid interfaces.
Many applications of responsive microgels rely on the fast adaptation polymer network. However, underlying dynamics de-/swelling process gels have not been fully understood. In present work, we focus collapse kinetics poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (pNIPAM) due to cononsolvency. Cononsolvency means that either pure solvents, e.g., water or methanol, act as a so-called good solvent, leading swollen state in mixtures and previously network undergoes drastic volume loss. To further elucidate...
Nanofibrous scaffolds are widely investigated for tendon tissue engineering due to their porous structure, high flexibility, and the ability guide cells in a preferred direction. Previous research has shown that providing microenvironment similar vivo settings improves regeneration. Therefore, this work, ingenious multicomponent nanoyarn mimic fibrillar tubular structures of tendons developed first time through electrospinning bundling nanoyarns followed by nanofibrous shell around bundle....
