TL;DR: In this article, a class of triblock rodcoil molecules self organize into supramolecular units of regular shape and size, which are characterized by small angle X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, second harmonic generation, and photoluminescence.

TL;DR: Although some scaffolds showed an advantage over others in individual parameters, the nanofiber gel appears to provide the optimal balance in the factors important to osteoinductivity evaluated here.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown how to incorporate 1-anthracenecarboxylate (1-AC-) as a substrate into a γ-cyclodextrin-containing metal-organic framework (CD-MOF-1), where the metals are K+ cations, prior to carrying out [4+4] photodimerizations between pairs of substrate molecules, affording selectively one of four possible regioisomers.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the artificial matrix activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) to increase phosphorylation of both c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) and its downstream transcription factor c- Jun (c-Jun), which induced gene expression as evidenced by an increased abundance of amelogenin, the main protein expressed during enamel formation, and the CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα), which is the known activator of

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the expression of collagen and laminin-1 (lam-1) are spatially and temporally correlated during embryonic and post-natal development of the cerebellum, and a synergistic relationship between these two ECM components in controlling multiple aspects of PC maturation is proposed.
