Thrombogenicity causes significant complications in the application of blood-contactingimplants, requiring strategies to prevent adverse coagulation reactions. The thrombotic re-sponses to the foreign surfaces are mainly driven by surficial factors such as surface energy,topography, and electrochemical interactions. [...]

During late gestation and early postnatal development a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors drive the maturation of the human cortex. This process is regionally heterogeneous, with cortical areas developing at different paces and trajectories. [...]

Humanity is progressing towards automated product development, a trend that promises faster creation of better products and thus the acceleration of technological progress. However, increasing reliance on non-human agents for this process introduces many risks. [...]
