Article Synopsis
  • Current 3D silk fibroin scaffold creation methods struggle with unwanted molecular rearrangement, leading to brittleness and poor organization at various scales.
  • A novel process using electrowriting and sodium dihydrogen phosphate allows for controlled gelation and formation of stable structures with both β-sheet and random coil conformations, while achieving customizable architectures.
  • The resulting scaffolds support the growth and alignment of renal epithelial and endothelial cells, promoting healthy tissue development, which shows promise for future tissue engineering applications.

Background: The pathophysiological mechanisms crucial in the development of nephrotic syndrome (NS) in the pediatric population are still not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between hypertension, oxidative stress, and inflammation in pediatric patients during the acute phase of the disease.

Methods: The study included 33 children, aged 2 to 9 years, with nephrotic syndrome.

3D culture of ovarian follicles in hydrogel matrices is an important emerging tool for basic scientific studies as well as clinical applications such as fertility preservation. For optimizing and scaling 3D culture of preantral follicles, there is a need for identifying biomaterial matrices that simplifies and improves the current culture procedures. At present, microencapsulation of follicles in alginate beads is the most commonly used approach.

Brown rot, caused by Monilinia species, is a destructive disease of pome and stone fruits that can lead to significant losses in production. Disease management is mainly based on fungicide applications during the growing season. Fludioxonil, a "new-generation reduced-risk fungicide", is one of the most important fungicide used.
