Epidermal Patch Technologies for Integrated Healthcare and Infection Management

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Epidermal patches have evolved from simple wound coverings into multifunctional, skin‐conformable platforms integrating drug delivery, biosensing, and therapeutic functionalities. This review highlights their material innovations, fabrication strategies, and intelligent designs, including hydrogels, microneedles, and flexible electronics, while ...

Actuation of Cell Layers in Three Dimensions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The alignment of fibers and cells in living tissues affect their mechanical properties and functionality. In this context, one can draw an analogy between tissues and nematic liquid crystal elastomers. We explore this analogy by growing fibroblasts on 2D‐patterned substrates and observing the contraction of cell sheets upon detachment from the

Association studies between COVID-19 and SSc-ILD

Shenzhen Daxue xuebao. Ligong ban, 2023
Severe COVID-19 patients may develop pulmonary fibrosis, similar to SSc-ILD disease, suggesting a potential link between the two diseases. However, there are limited treatment options for SSc-ILD-type diseases.

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

3D Printing of Highly Dense and Translucent Zirconia Parts for Dental Applications: Effect of Filament Overlapping

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study formulated a 5Y‐PSZ zirconia paste for extrusion‐based additive manufacturing via direct ink writing, producing dense ceramic structures for dental applications. A colloidal approach with 47 vol% nanometric powder and tailored additives optimized rheology and printability.

Modeling Exon-Specific Bias Distribution Improves the Analysis of RNA-Seq Data.

PLoS ONE, 2015
RNA-seq technology has become an important tool for quantifying the gene and transcript expression in transcriptome study. The two major difficulties for the gene and transcript expression quantification are the read mapping ambiguity and the ...

Morphology‐Driven Electromechanical Performance of Graphene‐Based Electrofluids for Emerging Soft Electronic Systems

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Here, two types of electronic components are presented: a strain sensor and a stable resistor. Electrofluids properties are tuned to match these behaviors by selecting the type of filler. We show that the morphology of the filler together with its oxygen content are the key parameters to create electrical and mechanical networks with distinct responses.

Probing Near‐Field EM Fluctuations in Superparamagnetic CoFeB With NV Quantum Dephasometry

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
We non‐invasively investigate the superparamagnetic spin dynamics of a 1.1 nm CoFeB layer by probing its near‐field EM fluctuations using NV centers‐based quantum dephasometry. Our findings are further supported by theoretical modeling and SQUID‐based magnetization characterization. These results provide critical insight into the magnetization dynamics

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.

DESIGNING AN OFFSET POISSON-GAMMA MIXTURE REGRESSION MODEL

, 2021
The problem of over-dispersion often encountered by Poisson distribution is what gave rise to the development of the Poisson-Gamma mixture distribution. This distribution is a mixture of a family of Poisson distributions with Gamma mixing weights.
