Surface Engineering of Thrombus‐Targeting Nanocarriers for Cardiovascular Diseases: A Short Review
This paper systematically introduces surface modification strategies for thrombus‐targeting nanocarriers, highlights the clinical significance of nanocarrier‐based thrombolysis therapies, and prospects the synergy of combing thrombolysis and anti‐inflammatory therapies for enhanced therapeutic effect.

The involvement of cell-to-cell signals in the development of a bacterial biofilm.
Bacteria in nature often exist as sessile communities called biofilms. These communities develop structures that are morphologically and physiologically differentiated from free-living bacteria.

This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...

Characterization of Conventional Endovascular Devices in Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) are often repaired through an Endovascular approach known as EVAR. The success and duration of these challenging procedures are primarily attributable to the accuracy and reliability of navigating corresponding interventional devices.

Miniaturized Devices for On‐the‐Spot Generation of Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts
An intracorporeal extrusion device is developed for on‐the‐spot generation of vascular grafts with tunable diameters spanning from 1 to 6 mm. The device uses biomimetic polymers and light, to promptly obtaining biocompatible and high‐burst pressure‐resistant grafts.

Cosserat Rods for Modeling Tendon-Driven Robotic Catheter Systems [PDF]
Tendon-driven robotic catheters are capable of precise execution of minimally invasive cardiac procedures including ablations and imaging. These procedures require accurate mathematical models of not only the catheter and tendons but also their interactions with surrounding tissue and vasculature in order to control the robot path and interaction.

Integrating proprioceptive capabilities in balloon‐type robots enhances safe human–machine interactions. Traditional pressure estimates are inadequate due to nonlinear relationships. Instead, embedding stretchable sensors effectively measures deformation. This design optimizes sensor geometry to minimize damage risks.
