A Compact, Self‐Recovering Wire Electrode Electrohydrodynamic Pump for High‐Speed McKibben Artificial Muscle Actuation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A compact and self‐recovering wire electrode electrohydrodynamic pump achieves high pressure, fast flowrate, and automatic recovery after dielectric discharge breakdowns. The pump delivers twice the power density of previous designs, and when integrated with a McKibben artificial muscle, enables tenfold faster actuation, offering a lightweight, silent,

Rewiring Droplet Interface Synapses

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Droplet interface synapses are used to create a neuromorphic network. Voltage pulses draw the droplets into contact and enable rewiring of the network through electrowetting. Results show that the heterogeneous droplet compositions and pore‐forming molecules may be used to tune the neuromorphic properties of the device using trapped charge as a form of

Jointless Tongue‐Like Bioactuator for Multidirectional Motion Through Directional Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A tongue‐like bioactuator is developed using orthogonally aligned cultured skeletal muscle tissues. By applying directional electrical stimulation of varying strengths, the actuator achieves jointless, multidirectional movements. The device features a fully soft, skeleton‐free design, enabling biomimetic deformation and functional actuation, and offers

Acute Exercise Challenge and Airway Dynamics in Youth With Sickle Cell Anemia: A Multicenter Study

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
Changes in airway dynamics in children with sickle cell anemia after maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing and a controlled intensity interval excercise challenge. ABSTRACT Sickle cell anemia (SCA) leads to reduced physical functioning and cardiopulmonary fitness. Prior studies suggest that airway hyperresponsiveness to bronchoprovocation testing is

Expanding the Genotype–Phenotype Correlation of Marden–Walker Syndrome due to PIEZO2 Gene Variants: A Case Report From Brazil

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marden–Walker syndrome (MWS; OMIM 248700) is an extremely rare congenital disorder characterized by multiple joint contractures, craniofacial dysmorphism, neurological abnormalities, and multisystem involvement. Although historically diagnosed on clinical grounds, only a few cases have been molecularly confirmed.
