Biologically‐Inspired Melt Electrowriting for the Generation of Highly Biomimetic Functional Myocardium

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Triglyceride Glucose Index on Cardiovascular Events in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: A Post-Hoc Analysis of the OSA–ACS Study

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is considered closely linked to cardiovascular risk.

Coronary artery disease in women

Australian Prescriber, 2022
Cardiovascular disease is the leading global cause of death in women but remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. Health professionals play an important role in improving the heart health of Australian women. Routine heart health checks should be offered to all women 45 years of age and older and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women 30 ...
