This month’s Advanced Engineering Materials covers and top papers!
What is a Stem Cell?
Discussing the historical roots of the stem cell concept and the definition generally adopted today.
Polymers for Use in Wound Closure
Polymers could provide the basis for alternative wound closure options that are more effective and less painful than the traditional sutures or staples.
Dimension‐Based Design of Melt Electrowritten Scaffolds [Video]
A new design approach for the fabrication of scaffolds for biomedical applications.
Triazole-based Glassy Photopolymer Networks with Superior Tensile Toughness
Thermosetting photopolymers with high stiffness, strength and thermoplastic-like ductility.
Infrared-Driven Generation of Hydrogen Gas
IR-driven transfer of plasmon-induced hot electrons in a nonmetallic branched heterostructure, by combining ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy with theoretical simulations, is demonstrated for the first time.
Gold-based Nanoscaffold for Peripheral Nerve Injuries [Video]
Shanghai Jiao Tong University researchers design a novel nerve guidance conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration. The performance of the polydopamine-coated, gold polycaprolactone nanoscaffold is enhanced when loaded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and Schwann cells.
