Pressure‐Assisted Drug Delivery Using High‐Pressure Balloon Platform Improves Vascular Drug Penetration and Anti‐Restenotic Effects

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐layer high‐pressure drug‐coated balloon (HP@DCB) increased balloon‐wall contact and promoted deeper paclitaxel (PTX) penetration than a conventional noncompliant DCB. In in vivo study, HP@DCB treatment improved luminal patency and reduced neointimal hyperplasia, supporting pressure‐assisted drug delivery as a promising strategy for enhancing the

Magnetoactive Hydrogels to Probe Curvature‐Directed Endothelial Cell Mechanosensing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a platform to investigate local curvature as a regulator of endothelial mechanosensing independent of shear stress. Magnetoactive hydrogels enable on‐demand curvature of endothelial monolayers to reproduce tortuosity quantified by clinically established metrics.

Disruptive Colouration in Reef Fish: Does Matching the Background Reduce Predation Risk? [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017
ABSTRACT Animals use disruptive colouration to prevent detection or recognition by potential predators or prey. Highly contrasting elements within colour patterns, including vertical or horizontal bars, are thought to be effective at distracting attention away from body form and reducing detection likelihood.

Testing Background Matching and Disruptive Colouration in a Sexually Dichromatic Grasshopper: A Computer Detection Experiment

Entomologia Experimentalis Et Applicata, 2023
AbstractCryptic colouration is an adaptative mechanism against predators. Colour patterns can become cryptic through background matching and disruptive colouration, which breaks up the outlines of an animal because the pattern does not coincide with the shape and outline of the animal's body.

Interactions Between Background Matching and Disruptive Colouration: Experiments Using Human Predators and Virtual Crabs [PDF]

Environmental Epigenetics, 2015
Abstract Interactions between disruptive colouration and the match between prey and background spot size were manipulated in two experiments that used time taken by human ‘predators’ to find artificial prey (virtual crab morphs) against heterogeneous backgrounds as a measure of the their camouflage.
