Bioabsorbable Endovascular Adhesive Tape (BEAT) for Improving Vascular Regeneration
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A bioabsorbable endovascular adhesive tape (BEAT) platform based on a hierarchical polyelectrolyte complex is developed to enhance drug delivery in the DCB system. The coating enables rapid transfer to the vessel, provides short‐term mechanical support, and promotes both immediate transfer and long‐term retention of drugs at the lesion site.

Peptides as potent antimicrobials tethered to a solid surface: Implications for medical devices [PDF]
, 2008 Medical devices are an integral part of therapeutic management; despite their importance, they carry a significant risk of microbial infection. Bacterial attachment to a medical device is established by a single, multiplying organism, leading to ...

Early Detection of Cell Death Using Transmembrane Water Exchange Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cell death is important in both the development and treatment of cancer. In this study, it is demonstrated for the first time that a specific measurement of the transmembrane water exchange rate using magnetic resonance imaging can be used as an early marker of cell death in mammalian cells, in animals and in human patients. Abstract Cell death plays a

A Soft Robotic Model for Simulating Heart Valve Disease and Cardiac Interventions
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This paper introduces a fully synthetic fabrication methodology for a soft robotic, in‐vitro model of the left‐heart, complete with a functioning mitral valve apparatus. With a view towards patient‐specific modeling, we demonstrate physiological flow and pressure waveforms, tunable mitral valve function with clinical imaging compatibility, and its use ...
