During the past decade, neutron reflectivity has increasingly become an important technique for the characterization of biological and biomimetic thin films. Advancements in instrumentation, sample environment and measurement protocols now make it possible to obtain Angstrom-level information about the composition of these materials along the axis perpendicular to the plane of the membrane. A n...

sensitive skin is a frequently mentioned cosmetic complaint. addition of a biomimetic of neuromediator has recently appeared as a promising new way to cure skin care product problems. this study was aimed to assess the inhibitory effect of a biomimetic lipopeptide derived from proopiomelanocortin (bpomc) on capsaicin-induced sensory irritation in human volunteers and also to compare its protect...

Neural stimulation can be used as a tool to elicit natural sensations or behaviors by modulating neural activity. This can be potentially used to mitigate the damage of brain lesions or neural disorders. However, in order to obtain the optimal stimulation sequences, it is necessary to develop neural control methods, for example by constructing an inverse model of the target system. For real bra...

Biomimetic Olfactory Synapses In article number 2214139, Lan Yin and co-workers propose, a flexible biomimetic olfactory synapse based on organic electrochemical transistors coupled with breath-figure derived porous solid polymer electrolytes. The device demonstrates ppb-level response limit desirable selectivity toward hydrogen sulfide, gas-mediated synaptic plasticity typical behaviors are ac...

Biomimetic Periosteum In article 2203027 by Yanlin Su, Kaifang Chen, Daping Quan, Xiaodong Guo, and co-workers, [email protected] electroactive biomimetic periosteum is created, which can regulate the concentration of axon initial segments in sensory nerves, promote bone regeneration releasing neuropeptides. This will enrich theory neurogenic provide a promising treatment for defects.

This paper introduced a technique for edge detection by biomimetic pattern recognition (BPR). The images were scanned into a computer. Due to the nature of the acquiring technique, the acquired images have lots of artifacts, resulting in complicated edge detection. According to this, we used Biomimetic pattern recognition, which is based on “matter cognition” instead of “matter classification” ...

Electrochemical depositions of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) film on NiTi alloy in concentrated simulated body flood (SBF×5) were carried out by cathodic polarization. The Ca-P layer was successfully deposited on Ni-Ti alloy substrate under 10mA/cm2 current density for 2 hours at room temperature. Then, in order to investigate the bioactivity of the pre-calcified samples, they were immersed in SBF f...

Many kinds of stimuli-responsive polymer gels that respond to the change in their surroundings such as solvent composition, temperature, pH, and supply of electric field have been developed. They are of interest as intelligent (or smart, biomimetic) materials which have sensor, processor, and actuator functions. This article is related to stimuliresponsive gels and their application for bioor b...

Recent studies have demonstrated that metal-organic frameworks can be employed as protective coatings for enzymes. Two efficient strategies have been reported for the synthesis of such composite materials: biomimetic mineralisation and controlled co-precipitation using polyvinylpyrrolidone. We assessed the relative efficacy of each approach by comparing the thermal stability of encapsulated ure...
