In this work, an Nb15Al10Ti alloy produced by mechanical alloying was investigated. The milling of elemental powders of Nb, Al as well as TiAl intermetallic phase resulted in the formation of homogenous niobium solid solution, Nb(ss), and refinement of powder particles. Powder after milling was consolidated by conventional hot pressing at 1300 degrees C under pressure of 25 MPa as well as by hot isostatic pressing at 1200 degrees C under pressure of 1 GPa. Microstructure of consolidated material was examined by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Materials after consolidation were composed of three phases: niobium solid solution Nb(ss), Nb(3)Al intermetallic phase and titanium oxide dispersoid TiO. The analysis of the mechanical properties indicated that both refinement of microstructure as well as introduction of ductile Nb(ss) into the microstructure contributed to very high yield strength and fracture toughness satisfactory for this strength.

The cytoplasm exhibits viscoelastic properties, displaying both solid and liquid-like behavior, and can actively regulate its mechanical attributes. The cytoskeleton is a major regulator among the numerous factors influencing cytoplasmic mechanics. We explore the interdependence of various cytoskeletal filaments and the impact of their density on cytoplasmic viscoelasticity.

Encapsulating fibroblasts in alginate hydrogels is a promising strategy to promote wound healing. However, improving the cell function within the alginate matrix remains a challenge. In this study, we engineer an injectable hydrogel through mixing alginate function with collagen and fibronectin, creating a better microenvironment for enhancing fibroblast function and cytokine secretion.

Although LFH is associated with increased fibrosis in the dorsal layer, comprehensive research exploring the characteristics of the ECM and its mechanical properties in both regions is limited. Furthermore, the distribution of fibrosis-associated myofibroblasts within LFH remains poorly understood.
