Exosomes Enhance Adhesion and Osteogenic Differentiation of Initial Bone Marrow Stem Cells on Titanium Surfaces

Successful osseointegration involves the biological behavior of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) on an implant surface; however, the role of BMSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs)/exosomes in osseointegration is little known.This study aimed to: (i) explore the interaction force between exosomes (Exo) and cells on a titanium surface; (ii) discuss

Dynamic Characteristics of High-speed Water-Lubricated Spiral Groove Thrust Bearing Based on Turbulent Cavitating Flow Lubrication Model

Abstract The water-lubricated bearings are usually the state of turbulent cavitating flow under high-speed conditions.And the distribution of cavitation bubbles and the interface effect between the two phases have not been included in previous studies on high-speed water-lubricated bearings.In order to study the influence of interface effect and ca

Plant interactions can lead to emergent relationships between plant community diversity, productivity and vulnerability to invasion

Abstract Understanding what makes a community vulnerable to invasion is integral to the successful management of invasive species.Our understanding of how characteristics of resident plant interactions, such as the network architecture of interactions, can affect the invasibility of plant communities is limited.Using a simulation model, we tested h
