Mechanotransduction of Magnetically Applied Forces Leads to Mechanical Stiffening of Platelet‐Rich Plugs

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A microfluidic device with magnetic microposts was used to assess platelet mechanobiology. The oscillatory actuation of posts with embedded iron particles was dampened by the dynamic stiffening of the platelet‐rich plugs. This stiffening process increased with applied load, but inhibiting platelet activation (ASA) or myosin contractility (blebbistatin)

Inhibition of VEGF‐Induced Angiogenesis and Vascular Leakage by Bicistronic Co‐Expression of Aflibercept and COMP‐Ang1

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A bicistronic rAAV8 vector encoding Aflibercept (Afb) and COMP‐cAng1 simultaneously coordinates VEGF clearance and Tie2‐mediated vessel maturation. In a 3D angiogenesis‐on‐a‐chip model, rAAV8‐Afb/cAng1 effectively reverses pathological barrier breakdown under clinical disease‐mimicking challenges.

Patterned ELR‐Gelatin Hydrogels Enable Rapid Endothelial Monolayer Formation via Bioactive Matrix Chemistry and Surface Topography

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nano‐patterned elastin‐like recombinamer (ELR) hydrogels integrate bioactive matrix chemistry with defined surface topography. The combined cues promote rapid endothelial cell capture, alignment, and monolayer formation on soft substrates.

Stress Testing the Financial Macrocosm

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
What should the next generation of financial stress tests look like? If recent crises are any guide, our strongly interlinked financial system, economy, and indeed wider society need to be viewed in unison – together, they make up a larger ‘financial macrocosm’.

Financial Stress and Asymmetric Financial Decisions [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
Building wealth requires saving, borrowing, and investing. These decisions may depend on stress due to the lack of financial security (low financial assets). Stress should influence personal responses – emotional, behavioral, and cognitive – that in turn could determine financial decisions.

Financial Stress and Financial Self-Efficacy: Be Confident To Be Less Stressed

2023
Abstract: Financial literacy is widely considered as a decisive factor in successful financial management. Numerous economists and financial advisers emphasise that mastering financial literacy will lead to the growth and stability of personal finances. However, this study reveals that financial literacy will often remain in the wishful domain if it is

Work, Poverty, and Financial Stress

2018
This chapter outlines the role of poverty, financial stress, and employment on a range of parenting and family outcomes. Globally, families have a range of experiences with work and finances. Some families live with high levels of financial stress and pressure. The impact of poverty on family and child outcomes is well documented and negative.

A climate stress-test of the financial system

Nature Climate Change, 2016
The urgency of estimating the impact of climate risks on the financial system is increasingly recognized among scholars and practitioners. By adopting a network approach to financial dependencies, we look at how climate policy risk might propagate through the financial system.

Stress Testing the Resilience of Financial Networks

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
We propose a simulation-free framework for stress testing the resilience of a financial network to external shocks affecting balance sheets. Whereas previous studies of contagion effects in financial networks have relied on large scale simulations, our approach uses a simple analytical criterion for resilience to contagion, based on an asymptotic ...

Financial inclusion, financial stress and debt

2017
Exclusion from financial services in the form of bank accounts has fallen and appears less significant than informal borrowing and problem debt, which have increased dramatically and are strongly associated with poverty. The most common arrears problems are with housing, local taxes and utility bills, not consumer credit.
