Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Wound closure is governed by geometry‐orientation coupling: aligned fibers speed migration along their axis but hinder perpendicular advance. In vivo diabetic wound experiments with composition‐matched fibrin, combined with an anisotropic diffusion (biased random‐walk) model, quantify this trade‐off and generate a healing landscape.

Myocardial dysfunction in Takotsubo syndrome: More than meets the eye?
Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2019 Introduction: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is characterized by transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, typically mimicking an anterior wall myocardial infarction (MI), without obstructive coronary artery disease.

Pulse wave velocity to global longitudinal strain ratio in hypertension
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2018 AbstractBackgroundArterial elastance to left ventricular elastance ratio assessed by echocardiography is widely used as a marker of ventricular‐arterial coupling.Materials and methodsWe investigated whether the ratio of carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity, as a marker of arterial stiffness, to global longitudinal strain, as a marker of left ventricular

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic
