This study aimed to determine the feasibility of using optical coherence elastography to measure internal displacements during the curing phase of a light-activated, resin-based composite material. Displacement vectors were spatially mapped over time within a commercial dental composite. Measurements revealed that the orientation of cure-induced displacement vectors varied spatially in a complex manner; however, each vector showed a systematic evolution with time. Precision of individual displacements was estimated to be ∼1 ∼1 to 2 μm 2 μm , enabling submicrometer time-varying displacements to be detected.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the fracture strength of 1 mm-thick CAD/CAM occlusal veneers made from lithium disilicate (LD) and resin nanoceramics (RNC) to assess their viability in dental restoration.
- Using a novel testing protocol, the RNC group demonstrated a significantly higher load-bearing capacity compared to the LD group, indicating better durability under stress.
- Both materials experienced similar crack patterns during testing, emphasizing the importance of understanding mechanical properties for ensuring the longevity of dental restorations.

The achievement of sufficient dispersion of vulcanization accelerators is critical to tailoring superior cross-linked elastomers. Modern recipes rely on multicomponent formulations with silica particles covered by coupling agents. We study the molecular properties of select accelerators in polyisoprene melts and their affinity for functionalized surfaces via extensive all-atom molecular dynamics simulations.

Structural adhesives are bonding materials that can quickly join structures with components and repair cracks. However, thermosetting polyurethane structural adhesives suffer from disadvantages such as insufficient toughness, poor aging resistance, and long curing time, which greatly limit their practical application. Herein, a polyurethane (PU) composite with excellent mechanical properties was prepared successfully via regulating the cross-linking structure and the dispersion of core-shell-rubber (CSR) particles.

Article Synopsis
- Most patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) can benefit from treatments, but persistent radiculopathy (nerve pain) often remains; this study explores the role of the FOXG1/SATB2 axis in regulating autophagy (cell repair) in these patients.
- The researchers induced lumbar disc herniation in rats and found that an intervention with FOXG1 improved key indicators of neuron health, reduced inflammation and apoptosis (cell death), and promoted the expression of proteins essential for cell growth.
- The study concluded that the miR-31a-5p/SATB2 pathway plays a significant role in treating LDH, suggesting that elevating FOXG1 could enhance recovery by supporting
