The effect of stiffness and hole size on nipple compression in infant suckling

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 1, Page 92-100, January 1, 2023., 2023
Sensory input from the nipple has been shown to affect infant feeding across commercially available nipples that also vary shape and size. Here, we isolated two specific nipple properties, stiffness, and hole size, in otherwise uniform nipples, while bottle feeding infant pigs.

Enhanced airway hyperresponsiveness in asthmatic children and mice with A(H1N1)pdm09 infection

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2021
Background Severe asthma exacerbation is an important comorbidity of the 2009 HIN1 pandemic (A(H1N1)pdm09) in asthmatic patients. However, the mechanisms underlying severe asthma exacerbation remain unknown. In this study, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR)

Fish Swim Bladder‐Derived ECM Hydrogels Effectively Treat Myocardial Ischemic Injury through Immunomodulation and Angiogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A unique hydrogel based on extracellular matrix from fish swim bladder, which is suitable for transcatheter delivery and possesses remarkable reparative capabilities for treating heart failure, is developed. It emerges as a multi‐effect factor profoundly influencing inflammation regulation, angiogenesis, and myocardial metabolism.

D-4F, an apoA-1 mimetic, decreases airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and oxidative stress in a murine model of asthma[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2011
Asthma is characterized by oxidative stress and inflammation of the airways. Although proinflammatory lipids are involved in asthma, therapies targeting them remain lacking. Ac-DW F KA F YDKVAEK F KEA F NH2 (4F) is an apolipoprotein (apo)A-I mimetic that

Regulation of eosinophilia and allergic airway inflammation by the glycan-binding protein galectin-1 [PDF]

, 2016
Galectin-1 (Gal-1), a glycan-binding protein with broad antiinflammatory activities, functions as a proresolving mediator in autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders. However, its role in allergic airway inflammation has not yet been elucidated.

Accurate and Noninvasive Dysphagia Assessment via a Soft High‐Density sEMG Electrode Array Conformal to the Submental and Infrahyoid Muscles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A stretchable, breathable, large‐area high‐density sEMG (HD‐sEMG) electrode array is reported, which enables seamless integration to the complex surface of the submental and infrahyoid muscles to detect high‐fidelity HD‐sEMG signals during swallowing.

Synthesis and Characterization of Photoswitchable Covalent Ligands for the β2‐Adrenoceptor

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A structure‐based design of a covalent photoswitchable ligand for the β2‐adrenergic receptor, a therapeutically relevant GPCR, is described. This tool facilitates the modification of the intrinsic activity of the protein by light. Computational analysis of its mechanism of action suggests that the photoswitch takes place within the binding pocket ...

Splitting one ventilator for multiple patients -- a technical assessment [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Due to the recent coronavirus outbreak, many efforts and innovative solutions have surfaced to deal with the possible shortage of ventilators upon catastrophic surges of patients. One solution involves splitting one ventilator to treat multiple patients and is in principle easy to implement, but there are obvious risks, and little is known on how the ...
