Jokes as performance text: a close reading of Rat Pack banter [PDF]
, 2016 In September 1963, a live performance by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr was recorded at the Sands Hotel, Las Vegas. This paper offers a close reading of a sequence of jokes from that performance: Frank: Better keep smiling, Sam, so ...

Cardiac‐Derived ECM Microspheres for Enhanced hiPSC‐CMs Maturation
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Cardiac extracellular matrix microspheres derived from decellularized porcine heart provide a biomimetic 3D microenvironment for human induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‐CMs). This platform supports short‐ and long‐term culture, enhances structural organization, and promotes electrophysiological and functional maturation of ...

In Defense of Comic Pluralism [PDF]
, 2017 Jokes are sometimes morally objectionable, and sometimes they are not. What’s the relationship between a joke’s being morally objectionable and its being funny? Philosophers’ answers to this question run the gamut.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A UV‐triggered injectable dual‐network hydrogel is reported as the first application of bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) in osteochondral repair. By integrating methacrylamide‐modified BSP and nitrobenzaldehyde‐functionalized hyaluronic acid, the system achieves immunomodulation, mechanical reinforcement, and dynamic tissue adhesion, thereby ...

David Foster Wallace's treatment of therapy after postmodernism [PDF]
, 2017 Despite the critical consensus that a major part of David Foster Wallace’s project was to challenge the paradigms of postmodernism, there is an assumption that, when it comes to therapy, Wallace did little more than tell the same postmodern jokes.

Tissue Engineered Human Elastic Cartilage From Primary Auricular Chondrocytes for Ear Reconstruction
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Despite over three decades of research, no tissue‐engineered solution for auricular reconstruction in microtia patients has reached clinical translation. The key challenge lies in generating functional elastic cartilage ex vivo. Here, we integrate synergistic cell‐biomaterial strategies to engineer auricular grafts with mechanical and histological ...

Powerless targets and opposite scripts in ethnic jokes of stand-up comedy [PDF]
, 2011 While stereotypes and discrimination are typically viewed negatively, popular culture has the ability to covertly further stereotypes that potentially lead to racial discrimination (Lippi-Green, 1997).

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.We measure the cell‐specific responses of administering infusible ECM (iECM) in acute myocardial infarction (MI) across multiple timepoints. Using single‐nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, we measure macrophage activation, fibroblast remodeling, increased vascular development, lymphangiogenesis, cardioprotection, and neurogenesis ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A 3D biomimetic OS model was developed by bioprinting an OS‐cell‐derived dECM‐enriched bioink with OS spheroids incorporated. The model showed upregulation of known OS prognostic markers and increased resistance to doxorubicin, compared to 2D cultures and scaffold‐free spheroids, making this a more clinically relevant platform for drug discovery ...
