Brain aneurysms are pathological dilations that mostly form at branch points of the cerebral vasculature. More than 60% of aneurysms are currently treated with minimally invasive endovascular methods including endovascular flow diversion or the permanent implantation of metallic intrasaccular coils…

Cerebral aneurysms are weak areas in the walls of an artery that can rupture and lead to high mortality rates. A majority of cerebral aneurysms are currently treated with minimally invasive catheter-based techniques, particularly endovascular coiling…

We show that fibrinogen fibers can form on the surface of epithelial and endothelial tissue in a manner analogous to that previously demonstrated on hydrophobic polymer surfaces…

Cotton textile recycling is often accomplished with toxic chemicals. Here we show that mild physical and chemical treatments can deweave cotton fabric into fibers. We identified three solutions that deweave cotton fabric at 50 °C and a moderate stirring speed: 0.5 M citric acid, 0…

Thermal stability of organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) remains as one of the critical challenges against the stable operation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in direct sunlight with elevated temperatures…

Formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3) has become one of the most promising materials for high performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with its ideal band gap and broad light absorption spectrum…

Fuel cells have been shown to provide an environmentally sustainable clean source of energy. Recently Anion Exchange Membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have achieved a great deal of attention since a broader range of non-PGM catalysts can be employed to achieve the ion transport reactions…

Recent climate change concerns have led to the desire for more sustainable energy sources, and fuel cells have demonstrated the potential to be strong contenders to fill that role…

The COVID-19 pandemic has made the general public more understanding of threats viruses pose. With that threat comes the interest in how long pathogens are able to survive on surfaces, in the hopes that people are able to minimize potential exposures…

In order to investigate the factors that stabilize the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) tube network, HUVECs were co-cultured in 3D with dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), pericytes, human dermal fibroblasts and human preadipocytes in a ratio of 2:1, inside a mixture of collagen and mat…

Late stage differentiation of dental pulp stem cells along can be accomplished in the absence of other common induction factors, such as dexamethosone, via surface preparations…

As a promising additive manufacturing technology for the next generation, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is applied in all areas of manufacturing from customized devices to electrodes for energy storage, and biomedical scaffolds…

The phenomenon of vascular occlusion damages the endothelium of blood vessels, leading to fibrinogen aggregation and microthrombi formation, causing many of the symptoms associated with COVID-19…

Rhizobium tropici (ATCC 49672) is a gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, that attaches to plant roots and is responsible for nitrogen fixation…

Neurodegenerative diseases represent a major incapacitating health problem due to its difficulty in treatment. If the nervous system is injured, neurons are unable to regenerate efficiently…

Individuals with medical implants are often at risk of developing life-threatening thrombi on the surface of these devices. Fibrinogen (Fgn) facilitates platelet recruitment by laterally aggregating at its αC domains into interconnected fibers that provide structure for thrombi…

Understanding the hydrodynamic conditions leading to aneurysm formation using printable vascular grafts can facilitate treatment development…

Coronaviruses are known for their distinctive spike glycoprotein (S-protein) protruding from viral particles…

Oral and maxillofacial complications pose challenges due to issues like lack of material biocompatibility and invasive treatments. One common example is the endodontic treatment, where the infected pulp is removed…

Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells have received great attention owing to their sustainability for generating green energy instead of fossil fuels…

Thrombosis is a major complication when materials are in contact with blood as components of cardiac valves, stents, and other prosthetics…

CEREBRAL ANEURYSMS ARE DILATIONS IN INTRACRANIAL ARTERIES THAT CAN RUPTURE, LEADING TO FATAL HEMORRHAGIC STROKE. CURRENT ANEURYSM TREATMENTS INVOLVE THE IMPLANTATION OF CATHETER-BASED ENDOVASCULAR COILS AND MESHES, BUT MANY OF THEM RESULT IN UNFAVORABLE PRIMARY OUTCOMES…

Cerebral aneurysms are abnormal dilations of intracranial arteries that, if ruptured, can cause life-threatening hemorrhagic strokes. Current treatments typically involve catheter-based endovascular coils and meshes, but many result in suboptimal outcomes…

Endodontic treatment failures, often attributed to _Enterococcus faecalis_, present a considerable obstacle in dental care. While calcium hydroxide remains the predominant medicament, it lacks sufficient antimicrobial efficiency against _E…

The demand for sustainable energy solutions has driven significant interest in hydrogen-powered fuel cells, particularly alkaline exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs)…
