The manufacturing of inserts for micro injection moulding made of mortar material is presented in this work. The fabrication of the mortar insert described in this publication relied on a versatile and relatively fast rapid prototyping process based on soft tooling. The mortar insert has a QR code with micro features on its surface, which was replicated in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer by the micro injection moulding process. With this approach, it is possible to fabricate hard inserts for micro injection moulding purposes that are able to compete with conventional-made inserts made of tool steel.

The treatment and repair of bone tissue damage and loss due to infection, tumours, and trauma are major challenges in clinical practice. Artificial bone scaffolds offer a safer, simpler, and more feasible alternative to bone transplantation, serving to fill bone defects and promote bone tissue regeneration. Ideally, these scaffolds should possess osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osseointegrative properties.

Four sets of indoor experiments were performed to examine the reinforcement mechanism of the electrochemical method. The findings indicate that increasing the valence of injected cations significantly affects the electrochemical reinforcement effect and the soil's microstructural properties.

Diabetes exacerbates the occurrence and severity of periodontitis, the pathogenesis of diabetic periodontitis (DPD) is influenced by the delayed resolution of inflammation. Eldecalcitol (ED-71) has shown promise in preventing bone loss in DPD. We herein aimed to investigate the role of ED-71 in the inflammatory regression phase of DPD and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

In the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) predominantly exhibit an immunosuppressive M2 phenotype, which facilitates tumor proliferation and metastasis. Although current strategies aimed at reprogramming TAMs hold promise, their sustainability and effectiveness are limited due to repeated injections. Herein, a bacterial therapy platform containing two engineered strains was developed.

A recrosslinkable CO-resistant branched preformed particle gel (CO-BRPPG) was developed for controlling CO injection conformance, particularly in reservoirs with super-permeable channels. Previous work focused on a millimeter-sized CO-BRPPG in open fractures, but its performance in high-permeability channels with pore throat networks remained unexplored. This study used a sandpack model to evaluate a micro-sized CO-BRPPG under varying conditions of salinity, gel concentration, and pH.
