Biosynthetic conductive polymer composites for tissue-engineering biomedical devices

TL;DR: In this paper, a double network of conductive polymers is proposed for biomedical applications, where one network is a conductive polymer and the other is a nonconductive polymer.

Effect of electrical stimulation on the acetylcholine receptors available for neuromuscular junction formation in 2D and 3D

TL;DR: It is suggested that the number of children under the age of five should be counted as one in a family, rather than two in the case of a family of five.

Chitosan/poly-octanoic acid 2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl ester blends as a scaffold to maintain myoblasts regeneration potential in vitro.

TL;DR: It is identified that the polymer blend chitosan/poly(OTE) could be a suitable substrate to culture satellite cells/myoblasts in vitro preventing differentiation prior transplantation, and improved myoblast adhesion in both cell types and prevented complete differentiation, but maintaining their differentiation potential in vitro.

Effect of hydrothermal ageing on structure and physical properties of one-phase and two-phase entirely lipid-derived thermoplastic poly(ester urethane)s

TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of a one-phase and a two-phase segmented thermoplastic poly(ester urethane) (TPEUs) made entirely from lipids was studied by accelerated ageing in water at 80°C.
