Article Abstract
In bone tissue engineering (BTE), suitable mechanical stimulation is required to support cellular activities during bone regeneration. Now, the implanted BTE scaffolds keep deforming and are subjected to physiological loading, which influences the fluid flow within the scaffold and surrounding tissue. Hence, understanding the mechanobiological changes of a bone cell seeded on the deformed scaffold needs to be specially focused. Therefore, twisted and non-twisted face-centered cubic scaffolds were modeled for identifying the changes in cellular mechanical stimulation at different locations of a scaffold. At first, a global computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was conducted to predict the permeability and fluid shear stress (FSS) of the scaffold; further CFD-induced pressure data was applied to the sub-scaffold finite element model to predict the mechanical responses of osteoblasts placed in different positions of the twisted and non-twisted scaffolds. The results indicated a decline in permeability as twist angles increased. While mechanobiological stimulation within the scaffold improved up to a certain twist angle, exceeding this threshold may reduce the effectiveness of mechanical stimulation. These findings could help determine the influence of twisting, identify the optimal twist angle, and also guide the selection of ideal areas for cell placement within the scaffold to enhance bone regeneration.

Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.

During the vaccine production through the chick embryo cultivation method, harmful cracks may occur from the perforation of a trocar on the eggshell, around the impact hole, leading to the failure of cultivation. To detect the perforative cracks, this study proposes a method based on acoustic responses. By stimulating the embryo eggs and collecting the acoustic signals, 7 characteristic values were extracted from the time and the frequency domains: The maximum value in the time domain; The difference in the time domain; The frequency-domain peaks, 870 Hz, 1250 Hz, 1470 Hz and 1770 Hz; The mean value of the waveform.

Accurate brain signal recording and precise electrode placement are critical for the success of neuromodulation therapies such as deep brain stimulation (DBS). Addressing these challenges requires deep brain electrodes that provide high-quality, stable recordings while remaining compatible with high-resolution medical imaging modalities like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Moreover, such electrodes shall be cost-effective, easy to manufacture, and patient-compatible.

Mechanical stimuli have been shown to dynamically alter solid-liquid interfaces and induce electron transfer, enabling catalytic reactions, most notably contact-electro-catalysis (CEC). However, the underlying mechanism of charge transfer at solid-liquid interfaces under mechanical stimulation remains unclear, particularly at semiconductor-liquid interfaces. To date, rare studies have reported on the catalytic activity of semiconductor-liquid interfaces under mechanical stimulation.
