Airway remodeling in asthma: what really matters
Cell and Tissue Research, 2017 Airway remodeling is generally quite broadly defined as any change in composition, distribution, thickness, mass or volume and/or number of structural components observed in the airway wall of patients relative to healthy individuals.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The development of hydrogel‐impregnated robust interlocking nano connector (HiRINC) aims to address stent migration by improving tissue adhesion and reducing mechanical mismatch in self‐expandable metallic stents (SEMSs). The network‐like porous layer of HiRINC enhances adhesion and energy dissipation, demonstrates through ex vivo and in vivo tests ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A multifunctional memristor is demonstrated for in‐memory sensing and computing, leveraging a MoWS₂/VOx heterojunction to enable high ON/OFF ratio up to 10⁸ with ultralow operating voltages of ±0.2 V. This bio‐inspired multimodal design exhibits tunable synaptic behavior across electrical, optical, and humidity stimuli, enabling in situ modulation of ...

3D Printed Magnetic Origami Scaffolds for Guided Tissue Assembly
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.3D‐printed magnetic origami scaffolds enhance 3D coculture by directing cell proliferation pre‐folding, restricting expansion for controlled growth within the channel, and spatially and temporally promoting 3D multicellular dissemination post‐folding.

Upper-airway stimulation for obstructive sleep apnea.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2014 BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with considerable health risks. Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can mitigate these risks, effectiveness can be reduced by inadequate adherence to treatment.

4D Printed Self‐Deploying Bio‐Based Scaffolds for the Regeneration of Endoluminal Tissue
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A bilayer self‐deploying tubular C‐shaped scaffold, made of natural polymers and triggerable by humidity, is fabricated via 4D printing for the regeneration of gastro‐intestinal tissue. The choice of the materials and their spatial arrangement is guided by physical and biological evaluation, whereas the geometry of the structure is optimized through ...

Dismantling airway disease with the use of new pulmonary function indices
European Respiratory Review, 2019 We are currently limited in our abilities to diagnose, monitor disease status and manage chronic airway disease like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Conventional lung function measures often poorly reflect patient symptoms or are

Respiratory Research, 2021 Background Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) signaling via prostaglandin D2 receptor 2 (DP2) contributes to atopic and non-atopic asthma. Inhibiting DP2 has shown therapeutic benefit in certain subsets of asthma patients, improving eosinophilic airway inflammation.
