Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

The Baboon as a Model to Study Human Health and Complex Disease
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 9, September 2026.Baboons remain underappreciated as models of human biology and disease offering a distinct combination of biological and practical properties. In this review, we evaluate the baboon as a model for human complex diseases and make the case for broader use of baboons in translational research.

Intrauterine deposition of calcium on copper-bearing intrauterine contraceptive devices. [PDF]
BMJ, 1977 Copper-bearing intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) removed after various times in utero were examined by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis of the elements present. As time in utero increased these devices became increasingly calcified. This calcification may limit the release of copper from the devices and decrease the specific

BMEMat, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...

Studies in Family Planning, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 309-330, September 2026.Abstract Conventional metrics of contraceptive need focus on contraceptive use among those not seeking pregnancy, ignoring individuals’ contraceptive preferences beyond pregnancy prevention. We examine contraceptive alignment, a novel metric describing agreement between actual and preferred method use/nonuse, among a 2022 nationally representative U.S.

Preparation and Characterization of Polyurethane/Nanocopper Composites and Their Application in Intrauterine Devices [PDF]
, 2020 A novel intrauterine devices material, polyurethane/nano-copper (PU/NC) nanocomposite, was prepared. The structure, morphology, copper ion (Cu 2+ ) release rate, and water absorption of PU/NC nanocomposites were investigated.
