We observed the structure of collagen fibrils in rat tail tendons after treatment with NKISK and cathepsin G. NKISK is a pentapeptide that has been previously shown to bind fibronectin, while cathepsin G is a serine protease that cleaves fibronectin but not type I collagen. In tendons treated with NKISK, fibrils were…

Different positive polyelectrolytes having the same charge density, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution were employed for polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEMU) assembly. The polycations differed only in the heteroatom on which the positive charge resided: poly(vinyl benzyl trimethyl ammonium) chloride, pol…

Using density-functional theory (DFT) methods, we investigate structural, electronic, and transport properties of step-kinked single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). To devise a sensible model for the joint section of the kinked nanotube, we examine relative stability of two (6,0) carbon-nanotube-based C 672 isomers,…

Flexible, strong scaffolds were created by crosslinking PCL with 1,6-hexamethylenediisocyanate, using paraffin beads as a porogen. Particulate leaching generated homogeneous scaffolds with interconnected spherical pores of 5-200 µm. Subcutaneous implantation in rats for 3 months resulted in minimal scaffold resorption…

First-principle calculations show that free-electron carriers are induced in few-layer hexagonal boron nitride ($h$-BN) by applying an external electric field. The electric field substantially shifts the particular states downward, and they finally cross the Fermi level under an electric field of a few volts per nanom…
