Effect on 3D-printability and microstructure of pork paste partially replaced with yellow mealworm larvae paste by Jinbo Xu, Jiaqi Liu, Hui Wang, Qian Liu, Qian Chen, Fangda Sun, Baohua Kong

“…The mixed pastes’ 3D printability was determined by measuring their rheological and microstructural properties. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results showed that the addition of YML increased the content of chitin, and the disentanglement and reorientation of chitin resulted in a decrease in viscosity and an increase in shear-thinning behavior which are shown in the rheological results. …”

Tensor-valued diffusion MRI detects brain microstructural abnormalities in HIV infected individuals with cognitive impairment by Md Nasir Uddin, Meera V. Singh, Abrar Faiyaz, Filip Szczepankiewicz, Markus Nilsson, Zachary D. Boodoo, Karli R. Sutton, Madalina E. Tivarus, Jianhui Zhong, Lu Wang, Xing Qiu, Miriam T. Weber, Giovanni Schifitto

“…However, quantitative neuroimaging may be able to detect ongoing subtle microstructural changes. In this study, we hypothesized that tensor-valued diffusion encoding metrics would provide greater sensitivity than conventional diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics in detecting HIV-associated brain microstructural injury. …”

Novel approach to enhance antifungal properties via formation of wavy and Sharp microstructures composed of metal oxide nanoparticles and Cdots by Satya Pal Singh, Himanshi Yadav, Himanshi Chauhan, Vivek Hada, Kumari Neha Singh

“…The evolution of spinodal wave-like structures, as reported in our case of evaporating thin films, appears to leave behind spiky and periodic wavy blades and needle-like nano-microstructures composed of NPs and Cdots. We report the formation of atomistic sharp needle-shaped and saw-like nano-microstructures, which play a significant role in producing and enhancing anti-fungal surface properties against Candida albicans fungi with sizes in the range of 5 µ -8 µ. …”

In vivo cortical microstructure mapping using high-gradient diffusion MRI accounting for intercompartmental water exchange effects by Tanxin Dong, Hong-Hsi Lee, Han Zang, Hansol Lee, Qiyuan Tian, Liang Wan, Qiuyun Fan, SusieY. Huang

“…As such, it does not account for diffusion time dependence due to water exchange in the estimated microstructural properties, as neurites in gray matter are much less myelinated than in white matter.In this work, we performed a systematic evaluation of an extended SANDI model for in vivo human cortical microstructural mapping that accounts for water exchange effects between the neurite and extracellular compartments using the anisotropic Kärger model. …”
