Exploring the Deep Marine Biosphere: Challenges, Innovations, and Opportunities

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
The deep marine biosphere is one of the largest, and yet least explored, microbial habitats on the planet. Quantifying the extent, diversity, and activity of subsurface microbial communities is a crucial part of understanding their role in global ...

Optimization of decompression angles in facial nerve decompression surgery: A decompression model

PLOS One
Facial nerve decompression is a surgical procedure performed for severe facial nerve paralysis associated with conditions such as Bell’s palsy and Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Classical Western studies by Fisch first established the surgical principles of facial nerve decompression, providing the foundation for subsequent work on decompression extent and ...

Shifts in the Oral Microbiota During a Four-Week Commercial Saturation Dive to 200 Meters

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
During commercial saturation diving, divers live and work under hyperbaric and hyperoxic conditions. The myriads of bacteria that live in and on the human body must adjust to the resultant hyperbaric stress.

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Orbital Geometry‐Governed Response of Pressure‐Tunable Quantum Defects in hBN

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Defects in hBN act as ultrasensitive quantum manometers when the energy of the intradefect optical transitions is modified by lattice compression. The orbital geometry of the electron wave functions governs how electron hopping and Coulomb interactions react uniquely to the reduction of the van der Waals gap and in‐plane compression, leading to robust ...

Translational Considerations for Injectable Biomaterials and Bioscaffolds to Repair and Regenerate Brain Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Minimally invasive approach for treating voluminous periapical cysts of the frontal maxillary teeth [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Stomatology, 2020
The aim. Treatment of a large cystic lesion in the maxillary bone involving the nasal cavity and the sinus may be challenging. The traditional approach represented by simple enucleation could irreversibly damage the anatomical structures, therefore, we ...
