🔔 Welcome to read our paper published "Chemical-Assisted Microwave Disinfection Used to Eradicate Candida albicans from Acrylic Resin Surfaces" by Mr. Marek Witold Mazur et al.

🔗 Link: https://brnw.ch/21wYylB

🎓 This study aimed to microbiologically evaluate the antifungal activity of microwave disinfection performed in distilled water, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), chlorhexidine (CHX), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), or without immersion.

Microwave radiation is a potential alternative to conventional disinfection of acrylic resin, but exposure time must be minimized, e.g., by combining it with chemical agents, due to its effects on material properties.

🔔 Welcome to read our paper published "Three-Dimensional Bioprinting of Regenerative Cartilage Constructs with Directional Ionically Derived Stiffness Gradients" by Prof. Amir A Zadpoor et al.

🔗 Link: https://brnw.ch/21wYs6s

🎓 This study showed a novel method to generate scaffolds with stiffness gradients from a single biomaterial and indicates that such scaffolds could be used to spatially regulate the behavior of chondrocytes and the associated deposition of the cartilage matrix.

Tissue engineering approaches for cartilage tissue regeneration are expanding to include the complex features of the tissue, such as the biological and mechanical gradients.
