Article Abstract
Biomechanical stimulation is reportedly pivotal in meniscal regeneration, although its effect on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) meniscal differentiation remains elusive. In this study, we investigated how cyclic compressive loading (CCL) could impact MSCs using three-dimensional cultures in atelocollagen-based meniscal substitute (ACMS). We extracted MSCs from the meniscus, synovium, and articular cartilage, cultured them in three-dimensional cultures, and exposed them to CCL for 7 days. We then compared the transcriptomes of MSCs treated with and without CCL. Our RNA-seq analysis revealed that CCL induced significant transcriptome changes, significantly affecting chondrocyte-related genes, including SOX9, TGFB1, and PRG4 upregulation. CCL induced transcriptional differentiation of meniscus progenitors toward mature meniscal cells. This study unveils the potential of mechanical stress in promoting MSC meniscal differentiation within ACMS. Our investigations provide new insights for mechanisms underlying meniscal regeneration with ACMS.

Mechanoresponsive molecular devices are capable of exhibiting dynamic responses to external mechanical stimuli, enabling applications in smart materials, nano-devices, and flexible electronics. However, energy conversion induced by mechanical stimuli requires efficient energy dissipation mechanisms. Traditional methods often involve bond breaking or incomplete energy release, which can lead to device failure during continuous operations.

Natural biopolymer hydrogels often suffer from relatively low moduli and an inability to maintain structure and mechanics under cyclic loading, limiting their utility in dynamic mechanical environments. Here, a cross-linked collagen cryogel scaffold was fabricated by precompression to densify the network. Following lyophilization, the porous scaffolds sustained >90% axial compressive strain with 200 cycles.

The maintenance of metro tunnel support structures is crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of urban rail transit. Under complex stress conditions (including tension, compression, shear, torsion), metro tunnel linings are susceptible to various forms of damage, such as cracking, spalling, segment misalignment, and water leakage. These issues pose substantial challenges to tunnel safety and service life.

This study investigates the electrocatalytic activity of palladium (Pd) nanocatalysts combined with nanoparticles (NPs) of cerium oxide (CeO) polyhedra (Pd/CeO/C poly) and with morphologies of cube (Pd/CeO/C NC), hexagonal sheet (Pd/CeO/C NS), and nanorod (Pd/CeO/C NR) for the formate electrooxidation reaction (FER) in an alkaline medium, a key process in direct formate fuel cells (DFFCs). X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicate that the CeO NP dislocation density follows the decreasing order of Pd/CeO/C NR > Pd/CeO/C NS > Pd/CeO/C NC > Pd/CeO/C poly. This order corresponds to the Pd concentration observed in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data.

To assess the implantation effectiveness of porous scaffolds, it is essential to consider not only their mechanical properties but also their biological performance. Given the high cost, long duration and low reproducibility of biological experiments, simulation studies as a virtual alternative, have become a widely adopted and efficient evaluation method. In this study, based on the secondary development environment of finite element analysis software, the strain energy density growth criterion for bone tissue was introduced to simulate and analyze the cell proliferation-promoting effects of four different lattice porous scaffolds under cyclic compressive loading.
