Analytical study of the numerical aperture of cone-shaped optical fibers: A tool for tailored designs

Heliyon, 2019
In this work, a set of analytical expressions to tailor the numerical aperture of cone-shaped step optical fibers is proposed. The expressions are derived from the geometrical study of light-ray tracing at the cone-shaped tip of a regular step-index ...

Four‐Year Cognitive Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis: Associations With Lesion Myelin Integrity

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Cognitive impairment is prevalent in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) but whether lesion myelin integrity influences future cognitive outcomes remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between baseline lesion myelin water fraction (MWF) and cognitive performance 4 years later.

Wearable Smart Patches on Sustainable Chitosan With Reversible Microbial Growth‐Inhibitory Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitosan, a polysaccharide upcycled from biowaste, has long promised sustainable, biocompatible, and antimicrobial films and devices, an appeal reinforced by its recent regulatory recognition, with several chitosan‐based antibacterial dressings gaining clearance through the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pathway.

Astrocytic expression of the chaperone DNAJB6 results in non-cell autonomous protection in Huntington’s disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 2019
Several neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's, a polyglutamine (PolyQ) disease, are initiated by protein aggregation in neurons. Furthermore, these diseases are also associated with a multitude of responses in non-neuronal cells in the brain, in ...

Kinematic Modeling at the Ant Scale: Propagation of Model Parameter Uncertainties

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Quadrupeds and hexapods are known by their ability to adapt their locomotive patterns to their functions in the environment. Computational modeling of animal movement can help to better understand the emergence of locomotive patterns and their body ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Anti‐Inflammatory and Neuroactive Effects of Polymer‐Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized With Interleukin 4 for Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated IONPs functionalized with IL‐4 display respective neuroactive and anti‐inflammatory actions on neural progenitor cells and macrophages/microglia in vitro. When examined chronically in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury, rGO scaffolds carrying these nanosystems adequately integrate into the lesion, significantly reduce ...
