Electrochemistry as a Tool for Redox‐Based Bio‐Information Processing
Redox is a modality that is native to biology and accessible to electronics through electrochemistry. Imposed electronic inputs are transduced into redox signals that can probe for bio‐information or actuate biological responses. Measured electronic output responses are analyzed to reveal actionable information.

The unsolved case of “bone-impairing analgesics”. The endocrine effects of opioids on bone metabolism [PDF]
The current literature describes the possible risks for bone fracture in chronic analgesics users. There are three main hypotheses that could explain the increased risk of fracture associated with central analgesics, such as opioids: 1) the increased ...

Recent experimental and clinical research has demonstrated that opioids can produce potent and receptor-specific analgesic effects outside the central nervous system. Opioid receptors are localized on peripheral terminals of sensory nerves and their endogenous ligands, opioid peptides, have been discovered in immune cells within inflamed tissue.

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...
