Published: December 2021

Both biochemical and mechanical signals coordinate all processes at the origin of the formation of functional organs, including tissue folding, cell shape, and differentiation. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Blonski et al. establish a direct consequence of epithelial monolayer folding on nuclear shape and gene expression.

Fracture resistances of heat-treated nickel-titanium files used for minimally invasive instrumentation.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Conservative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Dental Research Institute, Dental and Life Science Institute, Pusan National University, Yangsan, Korea.

Background: This study compared the torsional resistance, bending stiffness, and cyclic fatigue resistances of different heat-treated NiTi files for minimally invasive instrumentation.

Methods: TruNatomy (TN) and EndoRoad (ER) file systems were compared with ProTaper Gold (PG). Torsional load, distortion angle, and bending stiffness were assessed using a custom device AEndoS, and toughness was calculated using the torsional data.

A Roadmap of Responses to Asymmetry Stress in Lipid Membranes.

J Phys Chem B

January 2025

Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Freiburg, Freiburg 79104, Germany.

The selective insertion of membrane-impermeant amphiphiles such as detergents, (lipo)peptides, drugs, etc. into the leaflet of a membrane causes an imbalance between the intrinsic areas of the and leaflet, referred to as asymmetry stress or differential stress. The literature provides individual mechanisms of how membranes respond to such stress, which are relevant to membrane remodeling processes and leakage phenomena.

Shape Memory PLA/TPU Blend Using High-Speed Thermo-Kinetic Mixing.

ACS Omega

January 2025

Integrated Manufacturing Technologies Research and Application Center, Sabanci University, Tuzla, Istanbul 34956, Turkey.

In this study, a thorough examination of the chemical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics, as well as shape memory behavior at low temperatures, of blends consisting of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyurethane (TPU) is conducted. The research involves the preparation of PLA/TPU mixtures with varying concentrations of TPU using a high-speed thermo-kinetic mixing approach. Chemical, morphological, and thermal analyses were conducted on pure PLA, TPU, and PLA/TPU mixtures by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction pattern spectroscopy (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).

Teleost fish, such as Poecilia latipinna, exhibit remarkable regenerative capabilities, making them excellent models for studying tissue regrowth. They regenerate body parts like the tail fin through epimorphic regeneration, involving wound healing, blastema formation (a pool of proliferative cells), and tissue differentiation. Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) signaling pathways play crucial roles in this process, but their specific functions during blastema formation remain unclear.

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a vital food crop and staple diet for most of the world's population. Poor dietary choices have had a significant role in the development of type-2 diabetes in the population that relies on rice and rice-starch-based foods. Hence, our study investigated the in vitro digestion and glycemic indices of certain indigenous rice cultivars and the factors influencing these indices.
