Epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) myopathy [PDF]
SummaryTwo female patients developed a severe, painful proximal myopathy after taking 18–30 g of epsilon-aminocaproic acid daily for 5 weeks. Marked elevations of serum aminotransferases, creatine kinase and aldolase levels were found and the first patient had electromyographic and muscle biopsy changes of an acute monophasic, necrotising myopathy at ...

This review systematically examines the nanomechanical mechanisms of mussel‐inspired molecular interactions, primarily investigated by direct force measurement techniques such as surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscopy. The macroscopic adhesive and self‐healing performances of mussel‐inspired functional materials, including coacervates ...

Hydrophobicity‐Controlled Self‐Assembly of Supramolecular Peptide Nanotubes in Water
Cyclic peptide–polymer conjugates, with varied length of hydrophobic alkyl linker group, are synthesized and assembled into nanotubes in water. Both synthetic studies and computational molecular dynamics simulations confirm the degree of hydrophobicity, providing an avenue to tune the length and dynamic nature of the peptide nanotubes. Abstract Polymer‐

Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning (STOMP)
Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning (STOMP) is a method that enables precise spatial patterning within a single suspended tissue. By leveraging capillary pinning and open microfluidics, STOMP facilitates the creation of complex tissue interfaces such as diseased‐healthy boundaries and tissue‐tissue junctions. This method integrates mechanical

Systemic allergic dermatitis to epsilon‐aminocaproic acid [PDF]
A 47-year-old Caucasian woman had a pruriginous dermatitis involving her axillary, infra-mammary and inguinal flexures, and the lateral aspects of her trunk. Confluent erythematous patches without epidermal detachment were observed, sparing the extremities and mucous membranes (Fig. 1). There were no systemic symptoms.

This study develops a human engineered heart tissue‐derived model of diabetic cardiomyopathy that accurately replicates the dynamic changes in the structural, contractile, and electrophysiological properties of the myocardium. Furthermore, this model is used to confirm the direct protective effects of empagliflozin on the heart through an SGLT2 off ...

The integration of sensing elements in bioengineered actuators is key to obtain real‐time information about their performance and further control/automation. By coupling flexible organic field‐effect transistor to a skeletal muscle actuator we demonstrate the feasibility to record in real‐time its contractile behavior when stimulated by electrical ...

Monolithic Biohybrid Flexure Mechanism Actuated by Bioengineered Skeletal Muscle Tissue
A scalable, monolithic biohybrid flexure mechanism is presented, integrating engineered skeletal muscle tissue with a soft, biocompatible, hollow silicone cylinder featuring dual pillars. Muscle contraction induces bending motion upon electrical stimulation, with performance governed by the structure's flexural rigidity.
