Summary: The mechanical properties, microstructure evolution mechanism, texture variation process, and deformation mechanism of a near-alpha CT20 titanium alloy with different hot and cold rolling reductions were thoroughly investigated. It was found that the increase in rolling reduction led to a gradual increase in tensile strength and decrease in ductility. The mechanical properties were better along the rolling direction (RD) than the transverse direction (TD), which was attributed to the increase in grain boundary and dislocation density. The work-hardening rates and mechanical properties were influenced by the preferred orientation of alpha phase and the slip distances of dislocation during deformation.

Summary: In this study, a high-performance Ti-6Al-4V alloy was fabricated from TiH2 and 60Al40V powder mixtures by powder metallurgy (PM) pressureless sintering and hot extrusion. The sintering temperature and hot extrusion microstructure were investigated, and their correlation with mechanical properties was analyzed. The results showed that the dehydrogenation of the mixed powder during sintering led to a fine, fully dense microstructure. The billets sintered at 1200 degrees C exhibited a denser lamellar microstructure, which contributed to improved strength and ductility after extrusion.

Summary: The Y2O3p/ZG21 composites underwent significant changes in microstructure and mechanical properties after rolling and annealing processes. Deformed microstructure with twins and shear bands, as well as a basal texture with double peaks, were observed after rolling; while a recrystallized microstructure and circle multi-peaks texture were obtained after annealing. The anisotropic yield strength and superior ductility of the composites were attributed to the asynchronous change of texture components during annealing and different deformation mechanisms.

Summary: As a promising approach in translational medicine, the decellularization of discarded livers to produce bioscaffolds that support recellularization has potential in overcoming the limitations of conventional liver transplantation. In this study, the researchers investigated the use of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition to preserve the extracellular matrix (ECM) during liver decellularization. The results demonstrated that the application of an MMP inhibitor significantly improved the preservation of ECM components and mechanical properties of the bioscaffolds, which supported cell viability and function in vitro. The study also confirmed that the MMP inhibition led to the inhibition of MMP2 and MMP9, providing a novel method to enhance ECM preservation during liver decellularization.

Summary: Human skin equivalents (HSEs) play a crucial role in tissue engineering. This study introduces a 3D-printed culture insert to apply a static radial constraint on HSEs and examines its effects on tissue characteristics. The results show that the diameter of the culture insert significantly influences tissue contraction, fibroblast and matrix organization, keratinocyte differentiation, epidermal stratification, and basement membrane formation. This study provides important insights for the design of skin tissue engineering.

Summary: This paper reviewed the primary methods for improving the overall properties of biodegradable zinc stents. It discussed the mechanical properties, degradation behavior, and biocompatibility of various improvement strategies. Alloying was found to be the most common, simple, and effective method for improving mechanical properties. Deformation processing and surface modification further improved the mechanical properties and biological activity of zinc alloys. Meanwhile, structural design could endow stents with special properties. Manufacturing zinc alloys with excellent properties and exploring their interaction mechanism with the human body are areas for future research.
