Torque‐Transmitting Architected Metamaterials for Flexible and Extendable Tubular Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Soft and continuum robots commonly rely on fluid, tendon, or rod‐based power transmissions, to control robotic form and actuation. This study presents an architected structure, based on patterned straight‐line mechanisms, that enables simultaneous bending, extending, and torsionally rigid (BETR) transmission.

Soft Artificial Ciliary Brush with Integrated Haptic Feedback for Efficient Airway Mucus Cleaning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A fundamental mucus cleaning mechanism is reported, which utilizes both artificial cilia mechanical sweeping and suction‐based mucus cleaning. A novel haptic feedback interface for the artificial cilia provides touch feedback on tissue contact, enhancing operator control and safety.

Respiratory Involvement in HIST1H1E‐Related Rahman Syndrome: A Case of Severe Mixed Apnea

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rahman syndrome (HIST1H1E‐related neurodevelopmental syndrome, OMIM #617537) is a rare autosomal‐dominant condition caused by truncating variants in the C‐terminal domain of the HIST1H1E gene. It is characterized by macrocephaly, hypotonia, craniofacial anomalies, and multisystem anomalies.
