Comprehensive data on the mechanical properties and biodegradation profile of polylactide composites developed for hard tissue repairs

Polylactide (PLA), a biopolymer, was reinforced with three fillers (two organic Glasschliffarmbänder reinforcements and one inorganic filler).The processing technique used to fabricate the composites was the melt-blending technique.The composites and the unreinforced PLA were subjected to microhardness, compression and biodegradation characterisat

Tooth mineralization and histology patterns in extinct and extant snaggletooth sharks, Hemipristis (Carcharhiniformes, Hemigaleidae)-Evolutionary significance or ecological adaptation?

Shark jaws exhibit teeth that are arranged into distinct series and files and display great diversities in shapes and structures, which not only is related to their function (grasping, cutting, crushing) during feeding, but also bear a strong phylogenetic signal.So far, most research on the relationship between shark teeth and feeding ecology and s
