Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.

Adaptation of Binaural Processing in the Adult Brainstem Induced by Ambient Noise [PDF]
, 2012 Interaural differences in stimulus intensity and timing are major cues for sound localization. In mammals, these cues are first processed in the lateral and medial superior olive by interaction of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs from ipsi- and ...

Combined electro‐acoustic stimulation: a beneficial union? [PDF]
Clinical Otolaryngology, 2008 Background: The most pressing problem facing cochlear implant research is no longer making artificial hearing a reality. Instead, it is to develop devices that can more clearly reflect the capabilities of the human auditory system. Current cochlear implants rarely provide adequate pitch perception.

Lateralized rhythmic acoustic stimulation during daytime NREM sleep enhances slow waves
Sleep, 2018 Slow wave sleep (SWS) is characterized by the predominance of delta waves and slow oscillations, reflecting the synchronized activity of large cortical neuronal populations. Amongst other functions, SWS plays a crucial role in the restorative capacity of

Mechanoregulatory Effects of Cell‐Scale Microwells on Epithelial Cell Phenotype
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In small polycaprolactone microwells, A549 epithelial cells span well edges, in contrast to cells growing on flat substrates. Focal adhesion sites (yellow) concentrate at topographic boundaries, while cytoskeletal tension (magenta stress fibers) is transmitted to the nucleus (blue), reducing nuclear sphericity.

Novel Functional Materials via 3D Printing by Vat Photopolymerization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This Perspective systematically analyzes strategies for incorporating functionalities into 3D‐printed materials via Vat Photopolymerization (VP). It explores the spectrum of achievable functionalities in recently reported novel materials—such as conductive, energy‐storing, biodegradable, stimuli‐responsive, self‐healing, shape‐memory, biomaterials, and

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015 Introduction Treatment for auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is not yet well established, including the use of hearing aids (HAs). Not all patients diagnosed with ASND have access to HAs, and in some cases HAs are even contraindicated.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Near physiological spectral selectivity of cochlear optogenetics
Nature Communications, 2019 Cochlear implant spectral resolution is limited by current spread from each stimulation electrode. Here the authors compare optogenetic, electric and acoustic stimulation in gerbils and demonstrate improved spectral resolution of optogenetic over ...
