Nitrogen is crucial for all known life, but it is predominantly found in its most unreactive form, gaseous dinitrogen (N 2). The challenging process of nitrogen fixation, in which dinitrogen is ...
Flow chart illustrating the mechanism of action of the tapeworm-inspired tissue anchoring mechanism. Upon contact with a tissue surface (in this case, the intestinal lining), the small protruding ...
To enable tissue renewal, human tissues constantly eliminate millions of cells, without jeopardizing tissue integrity, form and connectivity. The mechanisms involved in maintaining this integrity ...
Contemporary industrial nitrogen fixation largely relies on the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process, which operates under extremely high temperatures and pressures. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...
This flexibility enables the fabrication of composite structures that best replicate the physiological conditions that surround the tissue, such as mechanical properties and topographical cues. 10 Due ...
When surgeons repair tissues, they're currently limited to mechanical solutions such as sutures and staples, which can cause their own damage, or meshes and glues that may not adequately bond with ...
