Vorticity‐Facilitated Platelet Aggregation: a High Expansion‐Ratio Stenotic Microfluidic Platform Unravels the Role of Complex Flow Dynamics in Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Neonates with acute liver failure have higher overall mortality but similar posttransplant outcomes as older infants

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Neonatal acute liver failure (ALF) carries a high mortality rate; however, little data exist on its peritransplant hospital course. This project aimed to identify factors associated with outcomes in neonates with ALF using large multicenter databases.

Antifouling Surface‐Attached Hydrogel Nanocoatings Redefined: Green Solvent‐Based, Degradable, and High‐Performance Protection Against Foulants

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
An ultrathin surface‐attached hydrogel coating is introduced that, unlike the best antifouling coatings so far, consists of hydrophilic, non‐charged, green solvent‐based monomers. It effectively renders the surfaces of medical devices stealth toward proteins, a clinical strain of MRSA and blood while offering on‐demand degradability to regenerate the ...

Electrical Microneedles for Wound Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A review on state‐of‐art research concerning electrical microneedles applied for wound treatment is presented. After a comprehensive analysis of mechanisms of electrical stimulation on wound healing, the derived three types of electrical microneedles are clarified and summarized. Further, their applications in wound healing are highlighted.

Red Blood Cell‐Induced Bacterial Margination Improves Microbial Hemoadsorption on Engineered Cell‐Depleted Thrombi, Restoring Severe Bacteremia in Rats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A highly efficient extracorporeal device for treating bacteremia is developed by integrating microfluidic bacterial margination and engineered cell‐depleted thrombi strategically constructed in the device. The rodent models, severely infected with antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, recover from bacteremia after two subsequent extracorporeal blood ...

Tailored 3D Lattice Microstructures for Enhanced Functionality in Blood‐Gas Exchange

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Common hollow fiber structures are associated with inhomogeneous flow, leading to many complications in the medical application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Using locally adapted lattice structures, the overall flow distribution can be manipulated.

Nucleic Acid‐Locked Smart Carrier for Photothermal/Chemotherapy‐Amplified Immunogenic Cell Death to Enhance Systemic Antitumor Efficacy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiple therapeutic modalities combined in a synergistic way that can modulate different immune axes are demonstrated potentially effective in boosting immunotherapy. A nucleic acid‐locked smart carrier (NASC) performed as an “all‐in‐one” nanoplatform is constructed for efficient eliciting chemo‐ and photothermal‐amplified immunogenic cell death to ...

Bowel preparation and surgical site infections in laparoscopic and robot‐assisted right‐sided colon cancer surgery with intracorporeal anastomosis: A retrospective study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study investigated risk factors for surgical site infections (SSIs) in right‐sided colon cancer surgeries using intracorporeal anastomosis (IA). The results demonstrated that preoperative oral antibiotics (OA) significantly reduced SSI rates, with OA identified as an independent protective factor, suggesting its beneficial role in ...
