Actuated Hydrogel Platforms To Study Brain Cell Behavior

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The complex and dynamic viscoelastic properties of the brain underpin neural plasticity and overall function. Actuating hydrogel platforms support mechanistic research to elucidate how brain cells respond to dynamic microenvironments. This study reviews the mechanobiology of the brain and its impact on brain function in health and disease and describes

Inorganic Nanomaterials Meet the Immune System: An Intricate Balance

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metal nanomaterials influence the immune responses, such as cytokine production and T‐cell activity. Unintended immune modulation can have significant consequences while its fine‐tuning may transform the oncology care. Within this review, a critical analysis is offered regarding the nano/immune‐interaction and suggests the future research directions to

Successful Heart Transplantation Despite Rhesus Blood Type Mismatch: A Case Report

open access: yesJournal of Chest Surgery
Matching for the rhesus (Rh) blood group is currently not taken into account in the organ allocation system. However, in Rh-mismatched transplantation, the primary concern is the potential for RhD-negative recipients to develop sensitization and ...

Increased blood pressure variability upon standing up improves reproducibility of cerebral autoregulation indices [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Dynamic cerebral autoregulation, that is the transient response of cerebral blood flow to changes in arterial blood pressure, is currently assessed using a variety of different time series methods and data collection protocols. In the continuing absence of a gold standard for the study of cerebral autoregulation it is unclear to what extent does the ...
