Magnetic Bioprinting and Actuation of Stretchable Muscle Tissue
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Human and murine myoblasts labeled with iron oxide nanoparticles are magnetically bioprinted into wrench‐shaped tissues, which are then anchored between two magnetic needles. Mechanical stretching of these tissues enhances both their maturation and functional performance. Abstract Engineering tissues with precise, long‐lasting shapes and the capability

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]
, 2017 The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2015 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

Aging and aerobic fitness affect the contribution of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves to the rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating [PDF]
, 2011 Sedentary aging results in a diminished rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating. We investigated whether this diminished response was due to altered contributions of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves; assessing 1) the age-related decline and,

Light‐Harvesting Nanomaterials Based on Dyes for Energy Transfer and Amplified Biosensing
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Light harvesting (LH) in plants inspires researchers to develop artificial LH nanomaterials. Here, LH nanomaterials based on organic dyes are reviewed, considering fundamental challenges on aggregation‐caused quenching, excitation energy transfer, and exciton migration length.

Trends in the Recent Patent Literature on Cholinesterase Reactivators (2016–2019)
Biomolecules, 2020 Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the key enzyme responsible for deactivating the ACh neurotransmitter. Irreversible or prolonged inhibition of AChE, therefore, elevates synaptic ACh leading to serious central and peripheral adverse effects which fall under
