Monolayers of zeolite microcrystals were prepared on glass plates with three different types of linkage between zeolite crystals and the substrate, namely, (a) covalent, (b) ionic, and (c) poly electrolyte-mediated ionic linkages using sonication with stacking (SS) as the method. The required periods for the coverage to reach 100% were 2, 3, and 7 min, respectively, upon changing the linkage from (a) to (b) and to (c), respectively, indicating that the surface migration becomes slower as the binding strength increases. The coverage, binding strength, and degree of close packing gradually decreased with reaction time with (a) as the linkage while those with (b) and (c) as the linkages remain essentially unaltered. The results indicate that the surface migration of crystals undergo linkage-destructively when crystals were attached to the substrates through covalent linkages and linkage-nondestructively when crystals were attached to the substrates through ionic linkages.

Purpose: A human model able to simulate the manifestation of corneal endothelium decompensation could be advantageous for wound healing and future cell therapy assessment. The study aimed to establish an ex vivo human cornea endothelium wound model where endothelium function can be evaluated by measuring corneal thickness changes.
Methods: The human cornea was maintained in an artificial anterior chamber, with a continuous culture medium infusion system designed to sustain corneal endothelium and epithelium simultaneously.

Corneal substitutes with structural and compositional characteristics resembling those of natural corneas have attracted considerable attention. However, biomimicking the complex hierarchical organization of corneal stroma is challenging. In this study, humanized corneal stroma-like adhesive patches (HCSPs) are prepared through a multi-step process.

Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a class of glycosaminoglycans covalently attached to proteins to form proteoglycans, is widely distributed in the extracellular matrix and cell surface of animal tissues. In our previous study, CS was used as a template for the synthesis of seleno-chondroitin sulfate (SeCS) through the redox reaction of ascorbic acid (Vc) and sodium selenite (NaSeO) and we found that SeCS could inhibit tumor cell proliferation and invasion. However, its effect on angiogenesis and its underlying mechanism are unknown.

Using metallic/polymeric orthopedic screws causes cavities in bone trauma after the attachment of broken bones, which prolongs the healing. Yet, it remains unknown how to overcome such a challenge. The main aim of this research was to use both polymers and gels to fabricate and study a new PCL/chitosan/hydroxyapatite scaffold-like orthopedic screw for cancellous bone trauma.
