The present study compares the behaviour of an anorganic bone matrix material and a synthetic β-Tricalcium phosphate employed as grafting materials in a sinus floor augmentation two step protocol in humans. In order to estimate the initial occupation level for the two materials, an 'in vitro' simulation has been performed to analyse macroporosity created due to particle packing in terms of porosity and interparticle distances. Grafting in the sinus floor augmentation was performed by filling the defects only with pure grafting materials without autogenous bone addition. The new-bone generated is 100% based on the osteoconductive properties of the grafted materials in contact with physiological fluids. The implants were placed 8 months after the grafting procedure. All the implanted positions were biopsied and embedded in methacrylate resin. Histomorphometric analyses were done over thin film undecalcified sections. Packing simulations allow establishing a comparison of the resorbed volumes related to the initial occupancy of the grafting materials inside the defect. The nature of this interconnected pore network is very alike for either material so new-bone generated was similar (~35 vol.%).

In the manipulation of π-conjugated organic polymer, strategic alterations to the polymerization cascade facilitate the integration of donor (D) and acceptor (A) entities within the polymer's backbone. Such control is instrumental in broadening the photoresponse spectrum, enhancing photoinduced charge separation, and augmenting the efficiency of charge transfer processes. The oxygen-containing amino group (-ONH) was innovatively grafted into the polymerization process of the triazine-heptazine ring skeleton, and the -ONH was used as a capping agent to change the chain bonding in the polymerization process, thus a new intramolecular D-A structure was successfully constructed.

Electronic address:

NbO has become a focus of research for its suitability as an anode material in sodium ion capacitors (SICs), due to its open ionic channels. The integration of NbO with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is known to boost its electrical conductivity. However, the sluggish interfacial charge transfer kinetics and interface collapse of NbO/rGO pose challenges to its rate capability and durability.

Rotator cuff injury (RCI), characterized by shoulder pain and restricted mobility, represents a subset of tendon-bone insertion injuries (TBI). In the majority of cases, surgical reconstruction of the affected tendons or ligaments is required to address the damage. However, numerous clinical failures have underscored the suboptimal outcomes associated with such procedures.

The bioartificial pancreas, composed of a semi-permeable hydrogel encapsulating insulin-secreting cells, has attracted attention as a treatment for type 1 diabetes. In this study, we developed phospholipid polymer-modified alginate hydrogel beads that encapsulated spheroids of the pancreatic beta cell line MIN6. The hydrogel beads were composed of methacrylated alginic acid, which enabled both ionic and covalent cross-linking, resulting in a hydrogel that was more stable than conventional alginate hydrogels.

Fruits are susceptible to ethylene ripening and microbial infestation, which can lead to spoilage and further significant economic losses. Thus, using functional preservation materials is an effective controlling technology to improve the post-harvest quality and extend the shelf life of fruits. Hence, a dual-function cellulose-based paper with exceptional antibacterial efficiency, favourable ethylene removal performance, improved mechanical and hydrophobic properties was prepared by covalently grafted antibacterial guanidine salt and surface-modified ethylene scavenger.
