Electroactive nano-Biohybrid actuator composed of gold nanoparticle-embedded muscle bundle on molybdenum disulfide nanosheet-modified electrode for motion enhancement of biohybrid robot [PDF]
Nano Convergence, 2022 There have been several trials to develop the bioactuator using skeletal muscle cells for controllable biobybird robot. However, due to the weak contraction force of muscle cells, the muscle cells could not be used for practical applications such as ...

Intraventricular muscle bundle as a novel cause of left ventricular aneurysm [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020 Background There are a variety of causes of left ventricular aneurysm, but it is rarely due to a disturbance in intraventricular hemodynamics. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of ventricular aneurysm at the left ventricular apex ...

Quantitative analysis of collagen architecture in the human uterotubal junction (UTJ) using optical coherence tomography imaging (OCT) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAbnormal uterotubal junction (UTJ) structure is implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and infertility; however, this relationship remains poorly characterized. We quantitatively characterized the orientation of collagen fiber bundles in the UTJ

Differential Expression of MSTN Isoforms in Muscle between Broiler and Layer Chickens
Animals, 2022 Myostatin (Mstn)-A, the main isoform among Mstn splicing variants, functions as a negative regulator, whereas Mstn-B functions as a positive regulator in muscle development. Because broiler chickens are a fast-growing breed raised for meat production and
