Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study presents the first entirely isogenic heart‐on‐chip, unifying cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells from a single iPSC source. The platform reveals a critical biological insight: the endothelium actively shields cardiac tissue from drug‐induced toxicity, challenging the predictive accuracy of conventional, avascular models for ...

Flexible Polypyrrole‐Based pH Sensors via Oxidative Chemical Vapor Deposition
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) of polypyrrole (PPy) thin films yields flexible, electrically conductive, and biocompatible pH sensors for monitoring on‐skin biological events. The highly sensitive, oCVD PPy skin‐conformal sensors enable real‐time, spatially resolved sensing of dynamic pH changes within physiologically relevant ranges (4–9 ...

Single-port access laparoscopic surgery using a novel laparoscopic port (Octo-Port)
Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2011 We present our initial experience with single-port access (SPA) surgery using a novel laparoscopic port (Octo-Port).In a prospective study, SPA surgery was carried out on 11 patients with the Octo-Port from July 2009 to December 2009 by a single surgeon (T.-J. K.).

Automatically generated port hinterlands [PDF]
Competition between ports depends on inland freight distribution and the spatial structure of the hinterland. With this, ports and port regions increasingly compete to serve distant hinterlands.

A Soft Microrobot for Single‐Cell Transport, Spheroid Assembly, and Dual‐Mode Drug Screening
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A soft, untethered hydrogel microrobot enables precise single‐cell delivery, self‐assembly into 3D spheroids, and real‐time thermal actuation. Driven by light‐induced convection and embedded with gold nanorods and temperature sensors, the microrobot guides cells, modulates local microenvironments, and supports drug testing.

Port Efficiency, Maritime Transport Costs and Bilateral Trade [PDF]
Recent literature has emphasized the importance of transport costs and infrastructure in explaining trade, access to markets, and increases in per capita income. For most Latin American countries, transport costs are a greater barrier to U.S.
