Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Electro-Stimulation System with Artificial-Intelligence-Based Auricular-Triggered Algorithm to Support Facial Movements in Peripheral Facial Palsy: A Simulation Pilot Study

Diagnostics
Background: Facial palsy causes severe functional disorders and impairs quality of life. Disturbing challenges for patients with acute facial palsy, but also with those with chronic facial palsy with synkinesis, are the loss of the ability to smile and ...

A Retinal Matrix Stiffening Model Reveals FAK‐Dependent Mechanotransduction in Pericytes Underlies Vascular Destabilization

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we show that retinal matrix stiffness is increased in diabetic mice. Using engineered human vascular models with controlled matrix stiffness, we demonstrate that stiffening activates focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling in pericytes, suppresses Notch signaling, and disrupts vascular morphology.

Three-dimensional computed tomographic assessment of mandibular muscles in growing subjects with different vertical facial patterns

Australasian Orthodontic Journal, 2016
The present study was undertaken to assess the relationship between the mandibular muscles and dentofacial skeletal morphology in children with different underlying vertical facial patterns, using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT).

An Engineered Thio‐Amino Polymer Achieves Potent, Safe, and Broad Cell Type Delivery in the Lung Mapped by Spatial Transcriptomics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Synthesis and screening of a polymer library produced a versatile and inhalable mRNA vehicle for the lungs (P81). Compared to a published LNP, P81 provides increased delivery efficacy, achieving widespread expression in broad cell types, with no toxicity.
