Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Surface modification using mussel‐derived polydopamine (PDA) is a versatile and robust biocompatible strategy that enables direct application to various epidermal surfaces, regardless of their morphological complexity or surface characteristics. The PDA‐coated epidermis exhibits multiple anti‐biofouling functionalities, including antibacterial and anti‐

A receptor and neuron that activate a circuit limiting sucrose consumption
eLife, 2017 The neural control of sugar consumption is critical for normal metabolism. In contrast to sugar-sensing taste neurons that promote consumption, we identify a taste neuron that limits sucrose consumption in Drosophila.

Effects of the GABA(B) agonist baclofen on volitional swallowing in normal subjects
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2023 The GABA(B) receptor agonist baclofen is known to suppress the rate of spontaneous swallowing but not pharyngeal muscle contraction. The extent to which baclofen may alter volitional swallowing is not currently known.

Synthetic MRI-aided Head-and-Neck Organs-at-Risk Auto-Delineation for CBCT-guided Adaptive Radiotherapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Purpose: Organ-at-risk (OAR) delineation is a key step for cone-beam CT (CBCT) based adaptive radiotherapy planning that can be a time-consuming, labor-intensive, and subject-to-variability process. We aim to develop a fully automated approach aided by synthetic MRI for rapid and accurate CBCT multi-organ contouring in head-and-neck (HN) cancer ...

Stage T4B head and neck cancer survival outcome comparisons based on treatment modality: is surgery a viable treatment option? [PDF]
, 2016 IMPORTANCE: Advanced stage head and neck cancers are often deemed unresectable due to the aggressive nature of the cancer. In evaluating survival patterns of patients with stage IVb tumors, it is valuable to determine whether patients who undergo ...

Koalas use a novel vocal organ to produce unusually low-pitched mating calls [PDF]
, 2013 SummaryDuring the breeding season, male koalas produce ‘bellow’ vocalisations that are characterised by a continuous series of inhalation and exhalation sections, and an extremely low fundamental frequency (the main acoustic correlate of perceived pitch)
