Prosthetic pollicization following thumb amputation: A case report

Burns & Trauma, 2014
The thumb contributes over 50% hand function, which is generally divided into motional, sensory and cosmetic functions. Optimal management of thumb loss necessitates individual consideration of surgical versus prosthetic options, in relation to the needs

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Surgical management of stage 3 and 4 pressure injuries in trauma patients using ovine forestomach matrix grafts: a prospective case series

Frontiers in Surgery
IntroductionStage 3 and 4 pressure injuries (PIs) pose significant challenges in trauma patients. Surgical management aims to support improvements in tissue vitality and often relies on debridement and negative pressure wound therapy.

The immune suppressive properties of damage associated molecular patterns in the setting of sterile traumatic injury

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Associated with the development of hospital-acquired infections, major traumatic injury results in an immediate and persistent state of systemic immunosuppression, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Surgical revascularization of bilateral renal artery stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia

Urology Annals, 2017
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a noninflammatory disease affecting small- and medium-sized arteries of the renal and the carotids. It affects the renal arteries in nearly 60%–75% cases.

Complementing surgical with biomedical and engineering methods to evolve lip and nose reconstruction [PDF]

, 2013
Facial integrity and self-perception are intimately related to each other. A facial defect therefore affects a patient in his physical and psychosocial health as well.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses
