Bionic Nanostructures Create Mechanical Signals to Mediate the Composite Structural Bone Regeneration Through Multi‐System Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the structural and functional characteristics of bone, bionic nanomaterials combined with nanotechnology can more accurately replicate stem cell niches, enabling the design of bone tissue engineering scaffolds with diverse nanoscale properties to promote stem cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. This precise control over stem

Effects of recombinant leptin therapy in a child with congenital leptin deficiency.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1999
Severely obese (ob/ob) mice are deficient in the adipocyte-derived hormone leptin, which acts on the hypothalamus to control appetite and energy expenditure.1 The administration of leptin to these mice corrects their obesity by reducing their food intake

Wearable Bioelectronics for Home‐Based Monitoring and Treatment of Muscle Atrophy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As an inevitable disease, muscle atrophy has received more attention. Because the factors that induce this disease are diverse, achieving a complete cure is still impossible. Wearable bioelectronics provides a more comfortable, low‐cost, and efficient way of home care for the monitoring and treatment of muscle atrophy. Therefore, this review summarizes

Textbook outcome for the Norwood operation—an informative quality metric in congenital heart surgeryCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2023
Objectives: To develop a more holistic measure of center performance than operative mortality, we created a composite “textbook outcome” for the Norwood operation using several postoperative end points. We hypothesized that achieving the textbook outcome
