Physicochemical Transitions and Polymerization Dynamics in Multi-Generational Dentin Adhesives: A Critical Review of the Resin-Dentin Composite Interface
Abstract: Adhesive dentistry has undergone a transformative refinement over the past three decades, transitioning from technique-sensitive, multi-step etch-and-rinse protocols to streamlined universal formulations. This narrative review critically synthesizes evidence from thirty peer-reviewed investigations to evaluate the evolution of dentin bonding agents from the fourth through the eighth generations. The analysis places particular emphasis on the physicochemical dynamics of the resin-dentin interface, including interfacial bond strength metrics, marginal integrity, and microleakage behavior. …

Review: Virulence factors, resistance genes and pathogenicity of Moraxella catarrhalis
Abstract: An estimated 2-4 million cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) in adults are exacerbated by Moraxella catarrhalis annually in the US, making it a pathogen of increasing significance for respiratory tract infections. It often colonizes the nasopharynx without causing any symptoms and an opportunistic bacterial infection of the respiratory mucosa that is exclusive to humans. In our study, we reviewed references about the important virulence factors that M. catarrhalis possess …

Generative Design of Bioactive Orthopedic Composites for Fracture Repair Using an Integrated Conditional GAN–Transformer Framework: A Multi-Objective Approach
Abstract: Orthopedic composite implants for fracture repair must simultaneously satisfy conflicting mechanical and biological demands: high fracture toughness, sufficient compressive stiffness, and bioactive surface chemistry enabling osteoblast adhesion and mineralization. Existing design approaches rely on trial-and-error experimentation, yielding sub-optimal trade-offs between these objectives. This paper presents an integrated conditional Generative Adversarial Network–Transformer (cGAN-T) framework for fully computational, multi-objective generative design of hydroxyapatite (HA)-reinforced polymer composite microstructures targeting Orthopedic fracture repair. A …
