A novel hydrogen bond re‐orientation (HyBRO) strategy enables three‐dimensional (3D) printing of vascular microchannel networks with high accuracy. By switching sacrificial material interactions with nonsolvents, HyBRO prevents swelling and deformation, enabling accurate hierarchical channels spanning a tenfold size range.

Protein‐Like Polymers Targeting Keap1/Nrf2 as Therapeutics for Myocardial Infarction
We describe a Keap1 targeting protein‐like polymer (PLP) which activates Nrf2, an important cytoprotective transcription factor for relieving myocardial infarction‐induced oxidative stress. This PLP increases cell survival in vitro in multiple relevant cardiac cell types and elicits pro‐reparative responses, improving cardiac function in a preclinical ...

Retrospective harm benefit analysis of pre-clinical animal research for six treatment interventions [PDF]
The harm benefit analysis (HBA) is the cornerstone of animal research regulation and is considered to be a key ethical safeguard for animals. The HBA involves weighing the anticipated benefits of animal research against its predicted harms to animals but

Upconversion‐Based Remote Deep Brain Modulation for Therapeutic Dissection of Parkinson's Disease
An upconversion‐based wireless optogenetic strategy enables an all‐optical deep brain modulation solution for treating Parkinson's disease in rodent animals without using electronics or any tethered cables, providing experimental evidence supporting a therapeutic mechanism of STN‐DBS by disruption of anterograde signal transmission along the indirect ...

Dexmedetomidine post-treatment attenuates cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting apoptosis through HIF-1α signalling. [PDF]
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) plays a critical role in the apoptotic process during cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study aimed to investigate whether post-treatment with dexmedetomidine (DEX) could protect against I/R-induced ...

Stability-Indicating Assay for the Determination of Pentobarbital Sodium in Liquid Formulations
A stability-indicating assay by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the determination of pentobarbital sodium in oral formulations: a drug used for infant sedation in computed tomography (CT) or ...

Cold Plasma Generates a Localized Inflammatory Response and Promotes Muscle Repair
The immediate tissue response to plasma is a pro‐inflammatory response which is characterized by collagen clumping, innate immune cell infiltration, enhanced metabolic processes, and decreased apoptosis. The long‐term tissue response (4‐ and 14‐days) to plasma treatment is characterized by a decreased inflammatory response, decreased adipogenesis, and ...
