Evidence date ·Why making more room for bacteria did not produce the strongest mortar
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeA short-term lab study traces differing bacterial gene-copy, calcium carbonate and mortar strength responses to admixture. Crack healing remains untested.
-
Evidence date ·How packaging bacteria changes crack sealing in mortar
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeA laboratory study explores how bacterial pellets reduce water flow through mortar cracks—and why fresh-mix handling and compressive strength still matter.
-
Evidence date ·Selecting bacteria and shaping calcite for concrete repair
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeA lab study links bacterial selection and mineral processing to concrete repair tests, showing what lower water uptake and adhesion measurements can establish.
-
Evidence date ·How a lymphatic bypass in the neck could affect brain clearance
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2025 review examines neck lymphatic bypass, early cognitive-score changes, and why fluid pressure and comparison groups matter for Alzheimer’s research.
-
Evidence date ·How a thin coating changes concrete’s bacterial carriers
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeA lab study compares clay coatings for bacterial survival, tests whether extra layers help, and shows how to interpret crack closure under water.
-
Evidence date ·How plastic capsules age inside concrete and change its strength
Peer-Reviewed PaperTracked over timeA laboratory study explains what capsule survival measures, how sodium silicate escapes into cracks, and the strength tradeoff in self-healing concrete.
-
Evidence date ·A mineral can seal concrete cracks while carbonation puts steel at risk
Review or Meta-AnalysisTracked over timeA 2022 review explores how bacterial crack sealing, concrete alkalinity and exposure interact—and what those links mean for protecting steel reinforcement.
