The microstructure of bone consists of nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) crystals aligned within the interspaces of collagen fibrils.To emulate this unique microstructure of bone, this work applied two biomimetic techniques to obtain bone-like microstructures in vitro, that is, combining the construction of collagen liquid crystal hydrogel Condom (CLCH
There is an urgent need Jewelry to develop new drugs against parasitic nematodes, which are a significant burden on human health and agriculture.Information about the function of essential nematode-specific genes provides insight to key nematode-specific processes that could be targeted with drugs.We have characterized the function of a novel, nema
Future epidemics are perceived as inevitable.Dissemination of information can enhance awareness, serving as an initial stride towards fostering desired epidemic-controlling actions among the public.In this study, a qualitative content analysis of Covid-19- and Switzerland-related social media and blog contributions points at a limited adoption of p
The amount of plastic waste produced yearly is significantly increasing.Approximately 300-400 million metric tons of plastic waste are produced yearly.One of the dominant plastic wastes is a metalized film, a shiny, non-homogeneous polymer used in packaging that is considered the least recycled.Meanwhile, partition walls in buildings are traditiona
