Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce an additively manufactured bioreactor with a perfusion flow system and integrated temperature and pH sensors for skeletal muscle tissue biofabrication. The bioreactor's performance was evaluated by assessing the viability, spreading of the myoblast cells in a printed scaffold, and contraction of the isolated murine musculi interossei ...

Substantive incidental cardiac findings revealed by non-cardiac CT examination of the thorax
South African Journal of Radiology, 2013 Limitations inherent in CT imaging of the thorax left the heart as an ill-defined and largely ignored area. The advent of multi-detector CT scanning and shortened imaging times has allowed clear identification of cardiac structures and pathology.

Modulation of hERG K+ Channel Deactivation by Voltage Sensor Relaxation
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 The hERG (human-ether-à-go-go-related gene) channel underlies the rapid delayed rectifier current, Ikr, in the heart, which is essential for normal cardiac electrical activity and rhythm.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A dyed nylon fiber is implemented inside the scattering phantom and skin tissue. The deep‐tissue light generation via whispering gallery mode lasing is demonstrated, achieving a depth of >50 times transport mean free path in scattering phantom and 3 mm beneath skin.

Cross‐Scale Hierarchical Targeted Delivery System Based on Small‐Scale Magnetic Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article reviews a cross‐scale hierarchical targeted delivery system that integrates magnetic continuum robots and magnetic microrobots. By combining rapid long‐range navigation with precise microscale targeting, the system overcomes key limitations of single‐scale approaches.

CaMKII-dependent regulation of cardiac Na<sup>+</sup> homeostasis
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Na+ homeostasis is a key regulator of cardiac excitation and contraction. The cardiac voltage-gated Na+ channel, NaV1.5, critically controls cell excitability, and altered channel gating has been implicated in both inherited and acquired arrhythmias. Ca2+

Noncanonical electromechanical coupling paths in cardiac hERG potassium channel
Nature Communications, 2023 Potassium channels allow vital organ such as brain, heart, and muscles to function. Here, authors reveal the existence of a noncanonical kinematic chain of residues involving the S4/S1 and S1/S5 subunit interfaces that controls the gating of the hERG ...
