Article Abstract
Objectives: To investigate how postpolymerization time (PPT) and atmosphere (PPA) influence the surface properties, protein adsorption, and microbial adhesion of two types of additively manufactured (AM) resins used for definitive restorations.
Methods: Two different types of commercially available AM resins for definitive restorations (UR and CR) were used to create disk-shaped specimens. These specimens were divided into eight groups based on resin type (UR and CR), PPT (standard or extended), and PPA (air or nitrogen). After postpolymerization, the surface roughness (R and S) and surface free energy (SFE) of all specimens were measured. The study also evaluated protein adsorption, microbial attachment, and cytotoxicity. A non-parametric factorial analysis of variance with post-hoc analyses was conducted, using a significance level (α) of 0.05.
Results: The R and S values for CR were higher than those for UR, regardless of PPT or PPA (P < 0.05). For UR, SFE was higher with extended PPT compared to standard PPT. CR had higher SFE than UR under standard PPT. The interaction between PPT and PPA had a significant effect on protein adsorption (P < 0.05). When PPT was standard, nitrogen significantly increased protein adsorption compared to air. The interaction between resin type and PPA, and between resin type and PPT, significantly affected microbial adhesion (P < 0.05). The changes in PPT or PPA did not affect the cytotoxicity of either AM resin.
Conclusion: Surface properties, protein adsorption, and microbial attachment were influenced by the interactions among PPT, PPA, and resin type. These factors can have implications for resin-based definitive restorations.
Clinical Significances: Clinicians should understand the impact of PPT and PPA on the surface properties of AM resins for definitive restorations, particularly regarding protein adsorption and microbial adhesion. Additionally, the type of AM resin (based on chemical composition) could affect its biological properties.

Enhancing hydrophobic bioactives' bioaccessibility remains challenging in functional foods due to instability and insufficient controlled-release ability in conventional protein-polysaccharide carriers. We pioneer a new interaction model by covalently grafting corn stover cellulose nanofibers (CNF) with Zein using N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), creating conjugates with gradient grafting degrees (CNF/Zein 0.5, CNF/Zein 1, and CNF/Zein 2).

This review concentrates on the electroactive ceramic biointerfaces inspired by bone piezoelectricity for advanced ceramic biomaterials. Bone generates electrical potentials through the piezoelectric properties of collagen fibrils and apatite minerals under mechanical loading. These electrical signals influence osteoconductivity and regenerative capacity by osteogenic cells.

The water activity of milk powders is a critical parameter for predicting quality and safety, but some retailers in the supply chain may be limited to measuring moisture content, which can be easier and more affordable. Moisture sorption isotherms relate moisture content to the corresponding water activity. In this study, moisture adsorption and desorption isotherms were determined for nonfat dry milk (NFDM) and milk protein concentrate (MPC-85) powder samples at ambient and elevated temperatures via the modernized dynamic dewpoint isotherm (DDI) method.

Osteopontin (OPN), a multifunctional milk protein essential for bioactive functions, remains challenging to isolate efficiently due to the limited specificity of conventional methods. We developed hydrogel-based molecularly imprinted membranes (MIMs) for selective OPN recognition. Dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) were selected as functional monomers based on molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, ensuring optimized binding interactions.

The poor foaming of egg yolks has long plagued the food industry. In this study, four egg yolk spheres (EYS) were prepared via acid- and alkaline pH-shift methods, and the main factors affecting the variation in their foaming capacity were determined. The tertiary structure of EYS under hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions unfolded in acidic shifts, exposing many functional groups, and refolded in basic shifts and exposed hydrophobic side chains.
