Identification of Schwann Cells in Human Intracranial Arteries: Potential Regulatory Role in Atherosclerotic Plaque Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Schwann cells may facilitate intracranial plaque progression via neurovascular remodelingcting with vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic plaques, with the SPP1 ‐ ITGB1 signaling axis mediating this interaction as a novel mechanism. Abstract Intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS), a common cause of ischemic stroke, remains a therapeutic ...

Shear Stress Targeted Delivery of Nitroglycerin to Brain Collaterals Improves Ischaemic Stroke Outcome

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Shear‐activated nanoparticles carrying nitroglycerin selectively target high‐shear stress collateral vessels during ischaemic stroke, enhancing blood flow to at‐risk brain without systemic side effects. This novel approach significantly improves outcomes in animal models, outperforming conventional nitroglycerin delivery.

Recessive mutation in tetraspanin CD151 causes Kindler syndrome-like epidermolysis bullosa with multi-systemic manifestations including nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is caused by mutations in as many as 19 distinct genes. We have developed a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel targeting genes known to be mutated in skin fragility disorders, including tetraspanin CD151 expressed in ...

Engineered Anti‐Senescence Trachea With Post‐Transplanted Regenerative Homeostasis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bioengineered trachea undergoes post‐transplanted senescence, which is found in this study for the first time. Hebe‐ET is designed with dual anti‐senescence strategies: fiber‐film scaffold in cartilage rings for close‐packed cell interaction, and quercetin‐loaded fibrous rings for immune modulation.

Self Dilation of Esophageal Strictures

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1991
Over 22 years, 26 patients were taught to dilate their esophageal strictures. Fifteen had peptic strictures, four malignant neoplasms, three achalasia, three dysphagia following fundoplication and one esophageal lichen planus.

Impact of preoperative patient characteristics on posturethroplasty recurrence: The significance of stricture length and prior treatments

open access: yesNigerian Journal of Surgery, 2016
Introduction: Urethral strictures are common in urologic practice of Sub-Saharan Africa including Nigeria. We determine the rate of stricture recurrence following urethroplasty for anterior urethral strictures and evaluate preoperative variables that ...

A Single‐Component Adhesive Sponge Based on Blood‐Triggered and Autopenetrative Adhesion for Robust Vascular Closure

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents MonoSeal, a single‐component adhesive sponge powered by the novel Autopenetrative Adhesion (APA) mechanism. Unlike traditional adhesives, which require external stimuli, APA enables strong tissue adhesion under dynamic, high‐pressure bleeding conditions. MonoSeal's ability to autonomously seal large‐size arterial defects underscores

Thermoexpandable Memokath stent: Usage and efficacy in ureteral and urethral strictures in Saudi Arabia

open access: yesUrology Annals
Objectives: Double J (DJ) stent is widely used in cases of ureteric strictures as a temporary solution; however, it has certain limitations, such as the need for frequent exchange.
