评论了 Six-month evaluation of novel bioabsorbable scaffolds composed of poly-L-lactic acid and amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles in porcine coronary arteries
This study evaluates novel bioabsorbable scaffolds composed of poly-L-lactic acid and amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles in porcine coronary arteries, finding that these scaffolds exhibit better lumen patency, reduced stent recoil, and greater radial strength compared to traditional PLLA scaffolds over six months.

评论了 Biocomposites based on lignin and plasticized poly(L-lactic acid)
This research developed biocomposites based on a ternary system of softwood Kraft lignin, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and polyethylene glycol (PEG), demonstrating that PEG enhances flexibility while lignin increases stiffness, and introduced a novel approach using a transesterification catalyst to improve PLLA and PEG compatibility, resulting in a well-balanced, high-performance material.

评论了 Maintenance of multipotency of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on poly(ε-caprolactone) nanoneedle arrays through the enhancement of cell-cell interaction
This study demonstrates that using poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) nanoneedle arrays, particularly with a height of 50 nm, as substrates can maintain the multipotency of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) in vitro by promoting clustered growth and strong cell-cell interactions, offering insights into designing effective tissue engineering scaffolds.
