Non-spherical collapse of an air bubble subjected to a lithotripter pulse [PDF]
In order to better understand the contribution of bubble collapse to stone comminution in shockwave lithotripsy, the shockinduced and Rayleigh collapse of a spherical air bubble is investigated using numerical simulations, and the free-field collapse ...

Nanofluid‐Enhanced Laser Lithotripsy Using Conducting Polymer Nanoparticles
Incorporating polymeric nanoparticles, PEDOT:PSS, with a high near‐infrared absorption coefficient into the fluid significantly enhances the dusting efficiency of Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy for kidney stone treatment. This approach, which leverages the control of light‐matter interactions, integrates seamlessly with the current laser lithotripsy workflow.

Rethinking Matrigel: The Complex Journey to Matrix Alternatives in Organoid Culture
Matrigel remains the most widely used scaffold in organoid and 3D culture despite its murine origin, variability, and translational limitations. This review discusses the barriers to replacing Matrigel with xeno‐free alternatives and introduces practical tools, including a matrix selection checklist and scaffold assessment criteria, to guide the ...

Shock-induced collapse of a gas bubble in shockwave lithotripsy [PDF]
The shock-induced collapse of a pre-existing nucleus near a solid surface in the focal region of a lithotripter is investigated. The entire flow field of the collapse of a single gas bubble subjected to a lithotripter pulse is simulated using a high ...
