Evolutionary Codesign and Fabrication of Tensegrity Joints with Integrated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a tensegrity joint with pneumatic artificial muscles integrated directly into its tensile network. Inspired by tensegrity spine structures, the joint's topology is developed and further optimized through an evolutionary algorithm, taking into account fabrication constraints and target applications.

Expert Strategies: Skull Base Reconstruction—Global Perspectives, Insights, and Algorithms through a Mixed Methods Approach

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective There is limited consensus on endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) reconstruction principles. This study aims to generate comprehensive themes regarding ESBS reconstruction by pooling the experiences of ESBS experts, with comparison to a literature review of current published evidence.

Impact of different anesthetic protocols during anesthesia for the establishment of a porcine model of acute kidney injury

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study details the adaptations required to establish a long‐term anesthetic protocol in pigs. Three protocols were evaluated, with some causing malignant hyperthermia, hypoglycemia, or hemoynamic instability. The final protocol proved effective for developing a porcine AKI model requiring adequate arterial pressure maintenance.

SOX6 enhances vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching and elevates blood pressure by activating autophagy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Sox6 expression is elevated in hypertensive conditions and promotes vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching through autophagy activation. Using gain‐ and loss‐of‐function approaches both in vitro and in vivo, we demonstrate that Sox6 regulates blood pressure and vascular remodeling, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target for ...

Cyclo‐Octasulfur Crystals as Light‐Controlled Molecular Muscles

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Bending and stretching effect provoked by the repeated application of 385‐nm radiation (purple) and 475‐nm radiation (blue) on sulfur microcrystals. Abstract Here, we describe the synthesis and photo‐responsive properties of 2D cyclo‐octasulfur microcrystals (α‐S8 MCs), produced using a quick, simple, cost‐effective, and environmentally friendly ...
