Journal: Virtual and Physical Prototyping
Additive manufacturing (AM) of smart materials combines advanced fabrication with materials that can sense, respond, or adapt to their environment. Unlike conventional materials, smart materials enable components that can change shape, self-heal, or react to external stimuli. When paired with AM, these materials can be precisely structured into multifunctional and lightweight designs. This synergy opens new possibil…
Journal: Virtual and Physical Prototyping
Additively manufactured metamaterials represent a rapidly evolving frontier in materials engineering, combining advanced fabrication techniques with architected microstructures to achieve unprecedented mechanical, thermal, and multifunctional properties. Unlike conventional materials, metamaterials derive their behaviour primarily from geometry rather than composition, enabling designers to tailor properties such as…

This Spe…
Journal: Renal Failure
The kidney is a metabolically active organ essential for maintaining systemic homeostasis through the regulation of electrolyte balance, acid–base status, and nutrient handling. To support these demanding functions, renal cells exhibit specialized and compartmentalized metabolic programs. Distinct nephron segments engage different combinations of pathways, such as fatty acid oxidation, glutamine utilization, and gly…

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has precipitated a paradigm shift in the domain of moral, cultural, and metaphysical inquiries that have been the subject of prolonged study within the realms of religion and philosophy. The accelerated proliferation of generative and autonomous systems has necessitated a re-examination of the boundaries of agency, responsibility, and human creativity. This compendium of ar…
Journal: Laterality
For more than a century, handedness has stood as the canonical example of individual difference in functional asymmetry. We routinely classify people as right-handed or left-handed , perhaps allowing a small space for the ambidextrous , or carving out a variable mixed-handed group in-between. This categorical view has become so deeply naturalised that it is often taken for granted. Yet accumulating empirical evidenc…

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is an atherogenic lipoprotein particle structurally similar to low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Thus, its surface contains a single molecule of apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B-100) and phospholipids, and its core is filled with cholesterol. Uniquely, a large glycoprotein, apolipoprotein(a), is linked to the apo B-100, and a fraction of the phospholipids are oxidized (ox-PLs). By entering the arteri…
