Crosslinking substrate regulates frictional properties of tissue-engineered cartilage and chondrocyte response to loading

Abstract Hydrogels are frequently used in regenerative medicine due to their hydrated, tissue-compatible nature, and tuneable mechanics.While many strategies enable bulk mechanical modulation, little attention is given to tuning surface tribology, and its impact on cellular behavior under mechanical stimuli.Here, we demonstrate that photocrosslinki

Comparison of Multiple-Locus Variable-Number Tandem Repeat Analysis Profiles of Enteropathogenic Yersinia spp. Obtained from Humans, Domestic Pigs, Wild Boars, Rodents, Pork and Dog Food

The enteropathogenic Yersinia genus is commonly detected in wildlife including wild boars.Difficulties in its cultivation may hamper subsequent epidemiological studies and outbreak investigations.Multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) of Yersinia (Y.) enterocolitica and Y.pseudotuberculosis has proven useful in source attribut
