Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

A Platform for the Actuation of Magnetically Labeled Skeletal Muscle Cells Using Dynamic Magnetic Stimulation

Small, EarlyView.
A magnetic stimulation platform for the remote stimulation of cells is presented, consisting of a magnetic stimulator and magnetic microspheres. Skeletal muscle cells are labeled with magnetic microspheres, which act as local magnetic actuators on the cells upon application of the magnetic field.

Shear‐Responsive Red Blood Cell Carriers for Targeted Drug Delivery to Constricted Arteries

Small, EarlyView.
Red blood cells are harnessed as mechanoresponsive carriers that exploit the elevated shear stress of stenotic arteries to transiently open membrane pores and release encapsulated therapeutics selectively at sites of arterial narrowing. By coupling vascular hemodynamics with RBC membrane mechanics, a hemodynamically activated platform for localized ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
