Harnessing Phase Separation for the Development of High‐Performance Hydrogels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are indispensable for the development of next‐generation bioelectronics, soft robotics, and biomedical devices, where their mechanical properties determine performance and reliability. Among strategies to enhance hydrogel mechanics, phase separation enables controlled heterogeneity resulting in gel networks that are reinforced by ...

The nasal cycle: a comprehensive review [PDF]

Rhinology Online, 2018
Background: The nasal cycle is the spontaneous, reciprocal congestion and decongestion of the nasal mucosa during the day and it is present in almost 70-80% of healthy adults. The German physician Richard Kayser first described it in 1895.
