colonizes a majority of the human population worldwide and can trigger development of a variety of gastric diseases. Since the bacterium is classified as a carcinogen, elucidation of the characteristics of that influence gastric carcinogenesis is a high priority. To this end, the Mongolian gerbil infection model has proven to be an important tool to study gastric cancer progression.

Thus, understanding processes affecting speleothem δO is crucial. Yet, prior calcite precipitation (PCP), a process driven by local hydrology, is a widely ignored control of speleothem δO.

- Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS), specifically Fischer-Koch-S (FKS) scaffolds, show promising properties for bone tissue engineering (BTE) compared to the more commonly used Gyroid scaffolds, particularly in terms of strength and energy absorption.
- While FKS scaffolds have been previously fabricated in metals and polymers, this study is the first to create them using a ceramic material suitable for BTE, finding that they are 32% stronger and absorb 49% more energy than Gyroid scaffolds with similar porosity.
- The study suggests that FKS scaffolds could be more effective for applications prioritizing dense bone and strength in BTE, despite a slight decrease in permeability.
