Article Synopsis
- Novel adhesives made from porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics provide a new method for surgical procedures involving biological tissues.
- These adhesives work by allowing water to move from soft tissues into their porous structure, which helps them effectively attach to different tissue types under various hydration conditions.
- Demonstrated during surgeries on porcine livers, these HAp adhesive devices show strong holding capabilities and can be easily detached when needed, indicating their potential use as internal organ retractors in laparoscopic surgeries.
Local glycolysis fuels actomyosin contraction during axonal retraction.

In response to repulsive cues, axonal growth cones can quickly retract. This requires the prompt activity of contractile actomyosin, which is formed by the non-muscle myosin II (NMII) bound to actin filaments. NMII is a molecular motor that provides the necessary mechanical force at the expense of ATP.

Controlling the impact process of a droplet impacting a liquid film has remained a wide-open challenge. The existing passive techniques lack precise on-demand control of the impact dynamics of droplets. The present study introduces a magnet-assisted approach to control water droplets' impact dynamics.

Background: The incidence of neovascular eye disease is increasing year by year, seriously threatening human vision health and becoming an urgent public health problem. Tongmai fuming decoction as an experienced prescription can treat ischemic eye disease.
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Tongmai fuming decoction combined with anti-VEGF therapy on neovascular ophthalmopathy.
Stability Bounds for Micron Scale Ag Conductor Lines Produced by Electrohydrodynamic Inkjet Printing.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
August 2022
Department of Materials, University of Manchester, Oxford Rd., ManchesterM13 9PL, U.K.
Continuous conducting lines of width 5-20 μm have been printed with a Ag nanoparticle ink using drop-on-demand (DOD) electrohydrodynamic (EHD) inkjet printing on Si and PDMS substrates, with advancing contact angles of 11° and 35°, respectively, and a zero receding contact angle. It is only possible to achieve stable parallel sided lines within a limited range of drop spacings, and this limiting range for stable line printing decreases as the contact angle of the ink on the substrate increases. The upper bound drop spacing for stable line formation is determined by a minimum drop overlap required to prevent contact line retraction, and the lower bound is governed by competing flows for drop spreading onto an unwetted substrate and a return flow driven by a Laplace pressure difference between the newly deposited drops and the fluid some distance from the growing tip.
