Dendritic Nano‐Based Slippery Coating by Synergistic Mechanical and Electrostatic Interactions with Persistent and Exceptional Combats Thrombosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel dendritic nano‐based slippery coating (DNSC), fabricated by encapsulating carboxyl silicone oil within amino dendritic silica nanoparticles and co‐embedding them in an epoxy resin matrix. The dendritic architecture enhances nanoparticle dispersion in the matrix and establishes mechanical interlock.

Ciliary propulsion of objects in tubes: wall drag on swimming Tetrahymena (Ciliata) in the presence of mucin and other long-chain polymers [PDF]

, 1976
The lubrication effect of three long-chain polymers - mucin, methylcellulose and Ficoll - on ciliary propulsion in tubes is measured by plotting the relative velocities of swimming cilitates as a function of the tube bore diameter.

Mimicking Life: Autonomous Oscillating Artificial Cilia Driven by Chemical Power

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The synthesis and motion analysis of chemically actuated, individually autonomous artificial cilia are presented. Driven by an internal chemical reaction, the self‐driven individual cilia require no external stimuli. They undergo periodic oscillatory motion with a 3D beat pattern and exhibit chemotactic shifts, reminiscent of biological systems.

Animal models of benign airway stenosis: Advances in construction techniques, evaluation systems, and perspectives

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Currently, the animals commonly used to establish animal models of benign airway stenosis (BAS) include mice, rats, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. The establishment methods involve one or a combination of two methods such as mechanical injury, tracheal cautery, cuff overpressure intubation, laser injury, and endoscopic silver nitrate cauterization ...

Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 2 Mediates β‐hydroxybutyrate's Antiseizure Effect in Mice

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
A Objective The ketogenic diet, a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate regimen, is often used to treat drug‐resistant seizures and is being studied for Alzheimer's disease and other neuropsychiatric disorders. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. β‐hydroxybutyrate, a primary circulating ketone body produced by the ketogenic diet, may mediate its ...
