Sensor‐Embedded Muscle for Closed‐Loop Controllable Actuation in Proprioceptive Biohybrid Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Skeletal muscle tissue‐based bioactuators move in response to externally applied electrical stimuli in open‐loop control, which lacks knowledge of the actuator's state. Herein, a soft and fiber‐shaped piezoresistive mechanosensor that integrates with the soft tissue and operates in the cell culture environment is used to create the first proprioceptive

Harnessing halophyte‐derived allelochemicals and signaling molecules to enhance salinity tolerance in crops

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Soil salinization is a growing global challenge that significantly reduces agricultural productivity by impairing seed germination, growth, and yield. While conventional crops have limited tolerance to high salinity, halophytes are promising biological models for developing strategies to sustain agriculture in saline environments and ...

Diosgenin ameliorates silica‐induced tuberculosis in rats

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Silicosis increases susceptibility to tuberculosis due to impaired macrophage function and oxidative stress. This study demonstrates that diosgenin, a steroidal saponin, significantly inhibits Mycobacterium smegmatis (IC₅₀ = 0.006 μg/mL), reduces lung fibrosis, and restores antioxidant enzyme levels (↑SOD, ↑CAT, ↓MDA) in silica‐exposed rats ...

Time‐of‐Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry‐Partial Least Square Regression for Quantifying Interleukin‐8 in Biopolymer Matrices

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
The power of time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry‐partial least square regression to detect interleukin‐8, a chemokine involved in inflammation and cancer, down to mass fractions of 1 ppm within biopolymer matrices, including Matrigel and glycosaminoglycan‐based hydrogels, is demonstrated.
