Advanced Design of Minimalistic Dumbbell-shaped Gene Expression Vectors

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Minimal DNA vectors exclusively comprising therapeutically relevant sequences hold great promise for the development of novel therapeutic regimen. Dumbbell-shaped vectors represent non-viral non-integrating DNA minimal vectors which have entered an ...

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

Shape or size matters? Towards standard reporting of tensile testing parameters for human soft tissues: systematic review and finite element analysis

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Material properties of soft-tissue samples are often derived through uniaxial tensile testing. For engineering materials, testing parameters (e.g., sample geometries and clamping conditions) are described by international standards; for biological ...

Universal Template-Assisted, Cloning-free Method for the Generation of Small RNA-Expressing Dumbbell-Shaped DNA Vectors

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2019
Dumbbell-shaped DNA minimal vectors represent genetic vectors solely composed of the gene expression cassette of interest and terminal closing loop structures. Dumbbell vectors for small hairpin RNA or microRNA expression are extremely small-sized, which

Differences in unilateral chest press muscle activation and kinematics on a stable versus unstable surface while holding one versus two dumbbells [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Training the bench press exercise on a traditional flat bench does not induce a level of instability as seen in sport movements and activities of daily living. Twenty participants were recruited to test two forms of instability: using one dumbbell rather

Impurity-induced bound states inside the superconducting gap of FeSe

, 2017
We investigate the local density of states in the vicinity of a native dumbbell defect arising from an Fe vacancy in FeSe single crystals. The tunneling spectra close to the impurity display two bound states inside the superconducting gap, equally spaced

Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Dumbbell schwannoma complicated by intradural lumbar disc herniation at the same level—A rare case report

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2019
Introduction: Dumbbell schwannoma complicated by intradural lumbar disc herniation at the same level is extremely rare. Case presentation: We describe a 67-year-old female presented with low back pain for 10 years and weakness and numbness of the right ...

Disorder driven spin-orbital liquid behaviour in the Ba$_3$XSb$_2$O$_9$ materials

, 2015
Recent experiments on the Ba$_3$XSb$_2$O$_9$ family have revealed materials that potentially realise spin- and spin-orbital liquid physics. However, the lattice structure of these materials is complicated due to the presence of charged X$^{2+}$-Sb$^{5+}$

Spatially Modulated Morphotropic Phase Boundaries in a Compressively Strained Multiferroic Thin Film

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The coexisting rhombohedral‐like (R′, MA) and tetragonal‐like (T′, MC) monoclinic phases in compressively strained bismuth ferrite thin films exhibit exceptional piezoelectric and magnetic properties. While previous studies have largely focused on probing the morphotropic phase boundaries (MPBs) comprising ordered R′/T′ twins, their self ...
