Tattoo Assisted Optical Sensor System for Multimodal Discrete Physiological Sensing
Conventional temporary tattoos can be used for improving the speckle imaging signal‐to‐noise ratio and stability of the specifically developed device for capturing skin motion related to physiological activities beneath the skin. This allows for sensing multimodal electrophysiological signals and physiological events from the skin consistent with ...

Outcomes of Temporary Percutaneous Right Ventricular Assist Devices in Right Ventricular Failure
Purpose Right ventricular failure occurs in a variety of clinical settings and is associated with worse survival. We describe our clinical experience with two temporary percutaneous right ventricular assist devices (RVADs): TandemLife Protek Duo (TPD) and Impella RP.

This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Cardiac Organoid Model Inspired Micro‐Robot Smart Patch to Treat Myocardial Infarction
The heart organoid model exhibits the acidic microenvironment characteristic of myocardial infarction, which emerges as a pivotal force propelling the movement of micro‐robots. These micro‐robots, administered through microneedles, can penetrate deep into the tissue, effectively delivering therapeutic payloads to facilitate heart repair.
