Beyond Bioactive Glass Composition: Using Morphology to Improve in Vitro and in Vivo Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Bioactive glasses can easily be shaped into granules, spheres, discs, fibers, or three‐dimensional scaffolds. The resulting morphology not only affects handling properties; it has a direct influence on various glass properties, including results of acellular immersion experiments or in vitro studies with cells or bacteria, but also on in vivo ...

Natural Sweetener Stevioside‐Based Dissolving Microneedles Solubilize Minoxidil for the Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study addresses limitations of minoxidil (MXD) in treating androgenetic alopecia by using stevioside (STV) as a solubilizing agent and microneedle (MN) material. STV enhanced MXD's solubility and skin absorption, leading to improved drug delivery and significant hair regrowth in animal models, demonstrating strong potential for AGA treatment ...

The Active Traveling Wave in the Cochlea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A sound stimulus entering the inner ear excites a deformation of the basilar membrane which travels along the cochlea towards the apex. It is well established that this wave-like disturbance is amplified by an active system.

Role of Dach1 revealed using a novel inner ear-specific Dach1-knockdown mouse model

open access: yesBiology Open, 2019
The Dach1 gene is expressed in the inner ear of normal mouse embryos in the area that differentiates into the cochlear stria vascularis (SV). We hypothesised that Dach1 downregulation in the inner ear would lead to SV dysplasia.
