New insights into the corrosion products from modular total hip implants comments

by Qiong Wang
Corrosion on modular hip implants is a complicated process accelerated by mechanical abrasion. There are two types of mechanically assisted corrosion on modular hip implants - tribocorrosion from the bearing surface and fretting corrosion from modular interfaces...

Differentiation of Mononuclear Cells From Cord Blood in Endothelial Cells Forming Colony Onto Bioactive Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Film for In Situ Endothelialization comments

by Caroline Royer
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. When the replacement of diseased arteries is needed, vascular surgeons often have no choice but to use synthetic arterial prostheses made either of poly ethylene terephthalate PET or Dacron or expanded tetrafluoroethylene ePTFE or Teflon ...

Bacterial Cellulose Nanofibers Grafted Poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) via Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization comments

by Yaser Dahman
Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization ATRP is significant method for synthesis of polymers with narrow polydispersity and is based on the reversible reaction of low oxidation- state metal complexes with an alkyl halide, generating radicals and the corresponding high-oxidation state metal complexes with a coordinated halide ligand...

Investigating the Role and Mechanisms of Extracellular Vesicle Signalling in Human Cardiac Tissue-on-a-Chip Models comments

by Milica Radisic Karl Wagner
Unlike seasonal coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2 has a profound tropism for the heart. Estimates indicate 78 of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience cardiac side effects, with asymptomatic individuals still at risk of viral-induced heart failure, yet the mechanisms and consequences of such effects remain unclear...
