Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

Cardiac Tissue Engineering: A Clinical Perspective
Future Cardiology, 2007 Engineered myocardium may be used to repair myocardial defects. Although not clinically applicable yet, initial studies in rodents have demonstrated the feasibility of tissue engineering based myocardial repair in vivo. In order for restorative treatment to evolve into a functional treatment modality, tissue engineers have to generate human myocardium ...

Investigating the role of uncoupling of troponin I phosphorylation from changes in myofibrillar Ca(2+)-sensitivity in the pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
, 2014 Contraction in the mammalian heart is controlled by the intracellular Ca2+ concentration as it is in all striated muscle, but the heart has an additional signalling system that comes into play to increase heart rate and cardiac output during exercise or ...
