Bioinspired Mechanisms and Actuation of Soft Robotic Crawlers
Researchers have been developing soft materials and robotic crawlers inspired by soft‐bodied animals to mimic effective crawling in complex environments. This review explores the state‐of‐the‐art in soft crawlers, highlighting the interaction between materials, crawling mechanisms, actuation, and applications. The review concludes by providing insights

Quantitative assessment of coronary stenosis by harmonic power Doppler with a simple pulsing sequence and vasodilator stress in patients [PDF]
ObjectivesWe examined whether myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) with harmonic power Doppler (HPD) employing a simple ultrasound pulsing sequence enables estimation of the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients.BackgroundContrast ...

The gut microbiome is a potential target for treating cardiovascular disease. It is found that prophylactic administration of Flavonifractor plautii or its metabolite desaminotyrosine (DAT) exerts pleiotropic cardioprotective effects via promoting cardiomyocyte survival and attenuating cardiac inflammation against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R ...

A unique hydrogel based on extracellular matrix from fish swim bladder, which is suitable for transcatheter delivery and possesses remarkable reparative capabilities for treating heart failure, is developed. It emerges as a multi‐effect factor profoundly influencing inflammation regulation, angiogenesis, and myocardial metabolism.
