🔔 Welcome to read our paper published "Improving the Biocompatibility of Plant-Derived Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering Using Heat Treatment" by Dr. Nicholas Merna et al.

🔗 Link: https://brnw.ch/21wWvFl

🎓 This study tested whether mild heat treatment improves scaffold biocompatibility without compromising mechanical performance.

Small-diameter vascular grafts often fail due to thrombosis and compliance mismatch. Decellularized plant scaffolds are a biocompatible, sustainable alternative. Leatherleaf viburnum leaves provide natural architecture and mechanical integrity suitable for tissue-engineered vessels. However, the per...

🔔 Welcome to read our paper published "Eco-Friendly Synthesis of Chitosan–Fatty Acid Nano Micelles and Their Differential Antibacterial Activity Against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis" by Dr. Stefania De Luca et al.

🔗 Link: https://brnw.ch/21wWrah

🎓 These results support the potential of chitosan–fatty acid conjugates as sustainable nanomaterials for biomedical applications, particularly as eco-friendly antimicrobial agents.

Chitosan-based nanoparticles were prepared using an eco-friendly chemical procedure that conjugates natural fatty acids to the backbone of chitosan. This consists of reacting two molecules in the absence of a solvent and using microwaves to promote the chemical transformation. Both conditions make t...

🔔 Welcome to read our paper published "Stress Assessment of Abutment-Free and Three Implant–Abutment Connections Utilizing Various Abutment Materials: A 3D Finite Element Study of Static and Cyclic Static Loading Conditions" by Dr. Raghdah M. Alshaibani et al.

🔗 Link: https://brnw.ch/21wWoY8

🎓 This in vitro three-dimensional finite element analytical (FEA) study aims to evaluate the distribution of von Mises stress (VMS) in abutment-free and three additional implant abutment connections composed of various titanium alloys.

Background: The implant–abutment interface has been thoroughly examined due to its impact on the success of implant healing and longevity. Removing the abutment is advantageous, but it changes the biomechanics of the implant fixture and restoration. This in vitro three-dimensional finite element a...

🔔 Welcome to read our paper published "Recent Advances in 3D Bioprinting of Porous Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering: A Narrative and Critical Review" by Prof. Dr. Jesús Manuel Rodríguez Rego et al.

🔗 Link: https://brnw.ch/21wWnBw

🎓 This narrative review analyzed 112 core articles retrieved primarily from Scopus (2014–2025) to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis.

3D bioprinting has emerged as a key tool in tissue engineering by facilitating the creation of customized scaffolds with properties tailored to specific needs.

🔔 Welcome to read our paper published "Polyethyleneimine-Assisted Fabrication of Poly(Lactic-Co-Glycolic Acid) Nanoparticles Loaded with Tamibarotene (Am80) for Meflin Expression Upregulation" by Dr. Tomoya Inose et al.

🔗 Link: https://brnw.ch/21wWhFD

🎓 In this study, we developed poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles loaded with Am80 (Am80–PLGA nanoparticles) as a potential intravenous drug for targeted Am80 delivery to the tumor site.

Tamibarotene (Am80) is a promising anti-tumor drug that induces the expression of Meflin (a glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored protein) in cancer-associated fibroblasts, thereby improving the tumor microenvironment. However, Am80, which is approved only for oral administration owing to its poor ...
