This study evaluates apple-derived cellulose scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, showing good biocompatibility and osteogenic potential but lower mechanical strength than native bone.

This paper introduces engineered tissue interfaces (ETIs) made from modular plant-derived scaffolds to study interfacial tissue interactions and demonstrates their biocompatibility in vivo.

This study shows that decellularized plant scaffolds improve motor function and support neural regeneration in rats with spinal cord injury without additional therapies.

This study evaluates apple-derived cellulose scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, showing they support cell invasion, proliferation, and mineralization.

The paper links gut microbiome composition to behavioral development in early school-aged children, showing associations with socioeconomic factors and specific taxa and functional modules.

The paper redefines hygiene as actions reducing pathogen spread rather than microbial load, and suggests using health outcomes to resolve debates on hand drying methods.
