Vitrification of Heart Valve Tissues
Application of the original vitrification protocol used for pieces of heart valves to intact heart valves has evolved over time. Ice-free cryopreservation by Protocol 1 using VS55 is limited to small samples where relatively rapid cooling and warming rates are possible.

Smart Sampling Capsule for Capture and Detection of Enteric Pathogens in the Small Intestine
An ingestible smart sampling capsule for capturing asymptomatic enteric pathogens at their primary sites of interaction within the small intestine. This capability enables non‐invasive detection of early pathogen colonization within the gut environment prior to fecal shedding, providing a robust approach for pathogen surveillance and microbiome studies.

3D‐Printed Unibody Microfluidic Devices for Organ‐on‐Chip Applications
A practical approach is demonstrated to 3D printing unibody microfluidic Organ‐on‐Chip (OoC) devices using commercial resins and desktop DLP printers. The demonstrated functional devices support 2D monolayers, 3D spheroids, and barrier tissues. With optimised design and post‐processing techniques, leak‐free, biocompatible microchannels and membranes ...

Relationship between fibre orientation and tensile strength of natural collagen membranes for heart valve leaflets [PDF]
Heart valve prostheses are used to replace native heart valves which that are damaged because of congenital diseases or due to ageing. Biological prostheses made of bovine pericardium are similar to native valves and do not require any anticoagulation ...

Controlled Air Gap Formation between W and TiO2 Films via Sub‐Surface TiO2 Atomic Layer Etching
Delivering SiH4 and WF6 to a lined array of TiO2 films produces a thin film of tungsten while simultaneously, the underlying TiO2 is removed. When the W‐coated TiO2 structure is exposed to further etching cycles after deposition, TiO2 etching continues vertically and laterally, creating a self‐supported W structure and a vacant air gap.

Pregnancy Outcome after Mechanical Mitral Valve Replacement: A Prospective Study
Background: Pregnant patients with mechanical heart valves require anticoagulation. The risk of bleeding and embryopathy associated with oral anticoagulants must be weighed against the risk of valve thrombosis.
