A Robotic Urinary Bladder Enabling Volume Monitoring and Assisted Micturition
An implantable robotic bladder is presented that can store urine in an origami‐designed enclosure. An inductance sensing principle can monitor and transfer the urine volume in real‐time. It can actively expand based on the amount of urine collected from kidneys and apply on‐demand mechanical compression to assist urination.

BeeRootBot: A Bioinspired Robotic Probe Exhibiting Apical Growth through In Situ Soil Binding
This study introduces a novel method for consolidating subterranean exploration pathways in plant‐inspired robots by binding in‐situ soil with beeswax, a biobased material. This simultaneous advancement and wall‐lining process reduces penetration resistance, enhances exploration efficiency, enables communication and resource sharing, and promotes ...

ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal defects and immunodeficiency syndrome 1 (GIDID1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic variants in TTC7A. GIDID1 is characterized by a broad clinical spectrum ranging from very early‐onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD) to multiple intestinal atresia (MIA) with or without immunological manifestations.

Mortality Patterns and Phenotypic Clusters in Trisomy 13: A Population‐Based Study From Japan
ABSTRACT Trisomy 13, the third most common autosomal trisomy after trisomy 21 and trisomy 18, is associated with a significantly high infant mortality rate. However, large‐scale studies examining causes of death in trisomy 13 remain scarce. Therefore, we aimed to better understand the mortality patterns.

De Novo Heterozygous ZFX Frameshift Variant in a Female With an X‐Linked Neurodevelopmental Disorder
ABSTRACT Germline ZFX variants are associated with an X‐linked neurodevelopmental disorder, with 14 males and 16 females reported to date. We describe a 20‐year‐old female with a heterozygous ZFX frameshift variant, p.(Met666Valfs*2), identified by genome sequencing, previously reported in an affected male.
