Synergistic effects of cerium-containing bioactive glasses and apoptotic extracellular vesicles alleviate bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaw

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are commonly used to treat skeletal diseases. However, long-term use of BPs can lead to BP-related jaw bone necrosis (BRONJ), particularly in patients undergoing tooth extraction surgery. The treatment of BRONJ remains challenging due to the local inflammatory microenvironment. To address this issue, we developed...

Holistic Processing of Sawdust to Enable Sustainable Hybrid Li-Ion Capacitors

Activated carbon has long been recognized as a promising electrode material for energy storage devices. The extraordinarily high specific area makes it challenging to replace in supercapacitors since electrical double-layer capacitors need such surfaces but also porous networks to enable electrolyte penetration. As a raw material for...

Progress toward the sustainable development of world cultural heritage sites facing land-cover changes

The quantification of the extent and dynamics of land-use changes is a key metric employed to assess the progress toward several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that form part of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. In terms of anthropogenic factors threatening the conservation of heritage properties, such a metric...

The competition and equilibrium in power markets under decarbonization and decentralization

Equilibrium analysis has been widely studied as an effective tool to model gaming interactions and predict market results. However, as competition modes are fundamentally changed by the decarbonization and decentralization of power systems, analysis techniques must evolve. This article comprehensively reviews recent developments in modelling...
