Actuated Hydrogel Platforms To Study Brain Cell Behavior
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

Older patients with COVID‐19 and neuropsychiatric conditions: A study of risk factors for mortality
Abstract Background Little is known about risk factors for mortality in older patients with COVID‐19 and neuropsychiatric conditions. Methods We conducted a multicentric retrospective observational study at Assistance Publique‐Hôpitaux de Paris. We selected inpatients aged 70 years or older, with COVID‐19 and preexisting neuropsychiatric comorbidities

Non‐Surgical, In‐Stent Membrane Bioelectronics for Long‐Term Intracranial Pressure Monitoring
This image shows a sequence of long‐term intracranial pressure monitoring using non‐surgical, in‐stent membrane bioelectronics. Abstract Traditional intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring methods, using intraventricular catheters, face significant limitations, including high invasiveness, discrete data, calibration complexities, and drift issues, which

The roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in ischemic stroke susceptibility
Abstract Background Ischemic stroke (IS), a multifactorial and polygenic disease, is the most common cause of death. This study aimed to determine the roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in IS susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. Methods MMP8 rs1940475 and rs3765620, and MMP10 rs17860949 from 700 IS patients and 700 controls were genotyped by ...

Predicting Thrombectomy Recanalization from CT Imaging Using Deep Learning Models [PDF]
For acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusions, clinicians must decide if the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MTB) outweighs the risks and potential complications following an invasive procedure. Pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) and angiography (CTA) are widely used to characterize occlusions in the brain vasculature ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases in Cerebral Ischemia [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in the pathophysiology of several central nervous system diseases that share common pathogeneses, such as disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In early ischemic injury, MMPs participate in disruption of the BBB by
