Although thermoset polymers have been widely used for engineering components,
adhesives and matrix for fiber-reinforced composites due to their good mechanical properties …

Tigers and their close relatives (Panthera) are some of the world’s most endangered species.
Here we report the de novo assembly of an Amur tiger whole-genome sequence as well as …

Genipin, the aglycone of geniposide, is metabolically produced from the geniposide in body
tissues. The purpose of this study is to clarify some pharmacological actions of genipin. …

This paper discusses the preparation of microporous fibrous membranes from PVdF solutions
with different polymer contents, using the electrospinning technique. Electrospun PVdF-…

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), that have been reported to be present in bone marrow,
adipose tissues, dermis, muscles and peripheral blood, have the potential to differentiate …

Variable angle tow (VAT) placed composite laminates, where the fibre orientations continuously
varying over the plane of each ply, generally exhibit variable stiffness properties. The …

Purpose: One of the main challenges of lung cancer research is identifying patients at high
risk for recurrence after surgical resection. Simple, accurate, and reproducible methods of …

The shift from terrestrial to aquatic life by whales was a substantial evolutionary event. Here
we report the whole-genome sequencing and de novo assembly of the minke whale genome…

Automated fibre placement (AFP) is the key technology for manufacturing variable angle tow
(VAT) composites with tailored fibre paths. Although it was developed in the 1980s, much …

Bone tissue engineering has been one of the most promising areas of research, providing a
potential clinical application to cure bone defects. Recently, various stem cells including …
