From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

A Mussel‐Inspired Bioadhesive Patch to Selectively Kill Glioblastoma Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative mussel‐inspired bioadhesive patch has been developed for post‐surgical glioblastoma treatment. The patch, which adheres strongly in biological environments, releases a localized treatment. This treatment, acting via reactive oxygen species, shows specific toxicity to glioblastoma cells.

GLUL Confers Perivascular Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts With Pro‐Angiogenic Capacity to Promote Glioma Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of the proposed model. Primary CAFs are isolated from fresh human GBM specimens according to established protocols. GLUL is essential for pro‐angiogenic capacity of CAFs through its impact on the PI3K/AKT pathway. GLUL enhances the pro‐angiogenic capacity of CAFs, driving aberrant tumor vasculature that fuels tumor growth ...
