The present review provides comprehensive information about recent developments in surface modification techniques directed to enhance osseointegration. Through an in-depth analysis of key molecular pathways and regulatory factors involved in bone biology, including sclerostin, Wnt signaling, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), the review explores how these advancements contribute to promoting osteogenesis, bone healing, and implant stability. By synthesizing findings from preclinical and clinical studies, the manuscript elucidates the potential of surface modification technologies to address challenges in implant dentistry, offering valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals striving to optimize implant success rates and patient outcomes.

Incompatible electrode/electrolyte interface often leads to dendrite growth, parasitic reactions and corrosion, posing significant challenges to the application of Zn anodes. Herein, we introduce a biomimetic antifreeze protein localized gel electrolyte (ALGE) with multifunctional capabilities to address these issues by combining electrolyte modification with interface optimization. ALGE modifies the Zn2+ solvation structure and the hydrogen-bond network adjacent to zinc anode, effectively suppressing hydrogen evolution.

The photoelectrochemical properties of hematite-based photoanodes are hindered by severe carrier recombination and poor reaction activity, which is a major challenge. Herein, we coupled zirconium-doped α-FeO (Zr:FeO) and phosphating cobalt molybdate electrocatalyst (P-CoMoO) to ameliorate the above difficulties. The conductivity and carrier density of hematite significantly increase by Zr doping.

Among the various carbon-based electrode materials, porous carbon spheres stand out for their exceptional properties, such as high specific surface area (SSA), high percussion density, and distinctive surface chemistry, which are conducive to uniform surface modification and acceleration of electrolyte diffusion, thereby enhancing the energy density of battery. Hollow carbon spheres, with their unique structure, are drawing increasing attention for their potential applications in energy storage devices. In this work, hollow hierarchical porous carbon spheres (HPCS) were synthesized by one-pot method using alkali lignin extracted from corn straw as carbon precursor, CTAB as template agent, Zn as crosslinking agent and KHCO as activator.

This study delves into the synergistic effect of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma and cellulase enzymatic treatment on enhancing the hydrophilicity of sustainable cellulosic biopolymer named Banana (B). The investigation encompasses two approaches: plasma treatment preceded by enzyme (PE) treatment and enzyme treatment preceded by plasma (EP) treatment, both aimed at augmenting to improve the hydrophilicity of biopolymer, which ultimately increases its antimicrobial finish. The study explores the physiochemical transformation that occurred during the treatments including wicking test, contact angle, weight loss, SEM, ATR-FTIR and XRD analyses.

The long-term stability, mechanical properties, and interactions of modified teff starch with food components remain unclear. The effects of dual or multiple modifications on physicochemical properties and digestibility are also unexplored. This study investigates the modification of Teff starch through oxidation (sodium hypochlorite), cross-linking (citric acid), and enzymatic treatments (α-amylase, amyloglucosidase) to enhance its structural, physicochemical, and thermal properties.
