Titanium barriers have been used for guided bone regeneration in preclinical and preliminary clinical reports as a possible alternative to bone grafting. In two cases with lateral bone defects, rigid titanium barriers were used to provide a secluded space in conjunction with bone substitutes. Sufficient lateral bone volume was generated for implant placement, and no complications were observed during 2 years of follow up. In conclusion, space-making stiff titanium barriers may be applied successfully for lateral alveolar crest augmentation.

Achieving high product selectivity at ampere-level current densities is essential for the industrial application of electrochemical CO2 reduction. However, the operational stability of CO2 electrolyzers at large current density has long been hindered by flooding of gas diffusion layer (GDL). Herein, a new heteroarchitectural GDL is designed to overcome flooding.

There is a growing interest in the development of methods for the detection of nanoparticle (NP) toxicity to living organisms based on the analysis of relevant multidimensional data sets. In particular the detection of preliminary signs of NPs toxicity effects would benefit from the selection of data featuring NPs-induced alterations of biological barriers. Accordingly, we present an original Topological Data Analysis (TDA) of the nanomechanical properties of Escherichia coli cell surface, evaluated by multiparametric Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) after exposure of the cells to increasing concentrations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiONPs).

Article Synopsis
  • The success of dental implants relies on the formation of soft tissues that create a protective barrier against pathogens.
  • Researchers studied how anodized surface modifications affect the integration of mucosal tissues in miniaturized implants placed in mice.
  • Findings revealed that while soft tissue around implants matures slowly compared to bone, anodized surfaces show some temporary benefits, highlighting the need for strategies to enhance the speed of soft-tissue maturation for better clinical outcomes.
