Magnetic soft robots offer promise in biomedicine due to their wireless actuation and rapid response, but current fabrication methods are complex and have limited cellular compatibility. A new, contactless bioassembly strategy using hydrodynamic instabilities is introduced, enabling customizable, centimeter‐scale robots.

Procoagulant microvesicles (MVs) are submicron membrane fragments released from activated cells and cells undergoing apoptosis. The procoagulant activity of MVs is enhanced in the presence of tissue factor (TF). MVs and TF are active mediators that induce pro-inflammatory response and prothrombotic tendency and have been linked to the severity of ...

Back Again to the Future: A New Era for Cerebroprotection
Cerebroprotection is a fresh framework for designing neurological therapy that targets glia and vascular cells, in addition to neurons. In the future, successful cerebroprotection will involve targeting all elements of the neurovascular unit. Preclinical trials must include functional outcomes, as well as lesion morphometry.

Mammalian cells in culture actively export specific microRNAs [PDF]
The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) as a new class of regulators of gene expression has triggered an explosion of research, but has left many unanswered questions about how this regulation works and how it is integrated with other regulatory mechanisms ...

Ca2+ uptake to purified secretory vesicles from bovine neurohypophyses [PDF]
Purified secretory vesicles isolated from bovine neurohypophyses were found to take up Ca2+ when incubated at 30°C in media containing 10−7 to 10−4 M free Ca2+. At 10−4 free Ca2+ 19 nmol/mg protein were taken up within 30 min.

Platelet Microvesicles (Microparticles) in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]
SIGNIFICANT POSTOPERATIVE BLEEDING is a common risk of cardiac surgery, with approximately 3.5% of patients requiring surgical re-exploration.1 Re-exploration is associated with adverse outcomes, including infections, ischemia, and increased 30-day mortality.2 Similar adverse outcomes are related to erythrocyte transfusions associated with cardiac ...

Comprehending the Membrane Properties for Emulation in Organs‐on‐a‐Chip
The advent of organ‐on‐chip models allows closer emulation of in vivo conditions, leading to effective, less costly, and specific drugs. Although a number of membrane‐based on‐chip models exist, better emulating functional models need to be devised for organ simulations.
