Abstract

Biodegradable and biostable composite foams were formed from porous apatite cement infiltrated with epsilon-caprolactone (CL) or methylmethacrylate (MMA) using a high over vacuum. For CL composites in situ polymerization was induced using trace water as an initiator and heating at 120 degrees C for up to 10 days or at 80 degrees C for 60 days. MMA composites were polymerized using AIBN initiator at 70 degrees C for 8 h. CL preparations gave composites with a polycaprolactone (PCL) number average of molecular weight (Mn) up to the maximum of 7.1 x 10(3) g/mol after 10 days and 16.8 x 10(3) g/mol after 60 days. The PCL and PMMA contents were close to 50 and 40 wt%, respectively, polymer was present as a thin coating on the apatite crystal plates and was evenly distributed throughout the samples. Re-evacuation of apatite saturated with monomer during preparation ensured that the upwards of 200 nm microchannels within the apatite cement were largely free of polymer, and the overall macroporous structure of the apatite foams was partly retained. Maximum compressive strengths increased from 9 MPa to 37 and 64 MPa for PCL and PMMA composites, respectively. The water drop contact angle of the PCL composite was 64 degrees, and therefore...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
