Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Unveiling Novel Surgical Treatments for Facial Synkinesis: Myectomy of the Posterior Belly of Digastric and Stylohyoid Muscle

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. Facial synkinesis manifests as involuntary muscle movements alongside volitional facial actions and is typically managed with a combination of neuromuscular retraining, botulinum toxin injections, and in some cases, selective neurectomy.

Super‐Resolution Ultrasound Based Cell Tracking With Polymeric Nanobubbles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a super‐resolution ultrasound platform for tracking cells in vivo. Biocompatible polymeric nanobubbles are used as highly echogenic intracellular labels. Following the injection of cells and microbubbles, ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) can dynamically match the microvascular architecture and individual cell trajectories ...
