https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2020.119857 Our unified experimental and computational approach provided underlying insights needed to guide potential therapies for Alport syndrome (AS) that ameliorate the adverse effects from AS disease onset and progression. Patients with AS exhibit blood and elevated protein levels in their urine, inflamed kidneys, and many other abnormalities.

https://doi.org/10.1088/1402-4896/aab4e2 In the 50 years that succeeded Richard Feynman’s exposition of the idea that there is "plenty of room at the bottom" for manipulating individual atoms for the synthesis and manufacturing processing of materials, the materials-by-design paradigm is being developed gradually through synergistic integration of experimental material synthesis and characterization with predictive computational modeling and optimization.

In this study, the intrinsic viscoelastic mechanical behavior of a hierarchical bio-composite, structural bamboo material, was experimentally investigated and correlated with its microstructural constituents and molecular building blocks. The macroscopic viscoelastic responses of bulk bamboo at ambient temperature and dehydrated condition were evaluated through dynamic compression experiments with various loading frequencies, whereas the localized viscoelasticity of bamboo's microstructural phases, viz.
