Small‐Scale Magnetic Peristaltic Soft Robot With Mobility and Transport Capabilities

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a miniature, untethered soft magnetic microrobot with peristaltic capabilities for both locomotion and cargo transport. Eight helically magnetized elastomeric strips deform under rotating fields (10–80 mT, 1–5 Hz), enabling movement across rods and lumina at up to 4.1 body lengths min‐¹.

Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...

Biofilm Exoproteins From Staphylococcus Species Impede Re‐Epithelialization of Nasal Epithelial Cells During Wound Healing and Cease Ciliary Beat Frequency

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disease with many different contributing factors, including bacterial infection. CRS patients are typically managed with medical therapies; however, these treatments frequently fail, leaving surgery as the only viable option.

Female‐Specific Risk of TAS2R Variants in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Hospital‐Based Cohort Study From the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) function in the innate immune defense of the sinonasal mucosa; however, the genetic association between the TAS2R gene family and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) remains understudied in Asian populations.

Primary cilium loss in mammalian cells occurs predominantly by whole-cilium shedding.

PLoS Biology, 2019
The primary cilium is a central signaling hub in cell proliferation and differentiation and is built and disassembled every cell cycle in many animal cells.

The primary cilium is a sensory organelle

The FASEB Journal, 2006
It has been theorized that the primary cilium of epithelial cells is a mechanosensory organelle. In renal proximal tubule and cortical collecting duct cells, it could be a flow sensor to regulate the overall salt flux through the epithelia. To elucidate the signaling pathway beginning from cilium deformation to amiloride‐sensitive, epithelial sodium ...

A Mechanism of Mechanotransduction Mediated by the Primary Cilium

, 2014
Mechanotransduction is a process by which cells sense and convert mechanical loads into biochemical signals and transcriptional changes. This process is particularly critical in bone, a metabolically active tissue that continously remodels and adapts to ...

Partial hearing recovery after cochlear nerve surface transplantation of hair follicle‐derived neural crest stem cells in neural hearing loss rat

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study comprises three experimental parts. Part 1. Time‐course of ouabain‐induced hearing loss. Rats received ouabain (10 mM) via round window application. ABR/DPOAE tests and histological analyses were performed at 2, 7, and 30 days post‐treatment to characterize SGN and glial cell degeneration. Part 2.

Glucose deprivation induces primary cilium formation through mTORC1 inactivation

, 2017
Primary cilia are antenna-like sensory organelles extending from the surface of many cell types and play critical roles in tissue development and homeostasis. Here, we examined the effect of nutrient status on primary cilium formation.

Injectable Bone Cements: A Generational Framework for Bioactivity, Porosity, and Mechanobiological Design at the Nanoscale

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Key demographic, biological, and material considerations that drive the need for advanced injectable bone cement technologies. Injectable bone cements (IBCs) are widely used in orthopaedic and craniofacial applications due to their minimally invasive delivery and ability to provide early mechanical stabilisation.
