TL;DR: Hydrogels are an appealing scaffold material because they are structurally similar to the extracellular matrix of many tissues, can often be processed under relatively mild conditions, and may be delivered in a minimally invasive manner.

TL;DR: By controlling the specific alginate polymer and processing methods, a wide range of tensile properties are available from these hydrogels.

TL;DR: The use of zirconia in medicine and dentistry has rapidly expanded over the past decade, driven by its advantageous physical, biological, esthetic, and corrosion properties, with a focus on dental applications.

TL;DR: A finite element method is used to simulate the dynamics of neutrophils during micropipet aspiration and indicates that a minimal mechanical model of the neutrophil needs to incorporate both shear thinning and surface viscosity to remain valid over a reasonable range of conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamics of human neutrophils during micropipette aspiration are analyzed by approximating these cells as simple slippery droplets of viscous fluid, and the authors present computations that reveal the detailed predictions of the simplest and most idealized case of such a scheme; namely, the case where the fluid of the droplet is homogeneous and Newtonian and the surface tension of the liquid is constant.
