To develop and assess a method for quantitation of lower tear meniscus height (TMH) with the Kowa DR-1α tear interferometer.Sixty-nine eyes of 49 men and 20 women (36 healthy volunteers, 33 patients with aqueous-deficient dry eye [ADDE]; mean age ± SD, 50.0 ± 14.0 years) were enrolled.

Musculoskeletal (Mal)adaptations in Response to a > 30 000‐km Running Challenge
ABSTRACT Background Ultra‐endurance sports are increasingly popular, yet the long‐term physiological consequences of sustained extreme training loads remain poorly understood. In particular, the effects of prolonged ultra‐endurance exercise on skeletal muscle structure, function and molecular remodelling are largely unknown.

Meniscus‐Guided Interfacial Ring‐by‐Ring Assembly for In Situ Fabrication of Tubular Hydrogels
A tubular hydrogel fabrication method leveraging the meniscus effect at the oil‐water interface is presented. UV irradiation across the concave surface of the photocurable hydrogel precursor induces the formation of ring‐like hydrogel structures. Sequential ring‐by‐ring assembly within microchannels enables the construction of arteriole‐scale hydrogel ...

Prediction‐Based Algorithms for Long‐Range High‐Speed Force Spectroscopy
ABSTRACT We present a high‐speed force microscopy platform mounted on a confocal microscope with a z sample stage enabling long‐range, high‐speed force spectroscopy measurements on biological samples. The control software is built on a field‐programmable gate array (FPGA)‐based data acquisition and processing system, complemented with a custom ...

Advances in FGF/FGFR Signaling: Implications for Disease and Therapy
The FGF/FGFR signaling is indispensable for the maintenance of physiological homeostasis and governs multiple biological processes, including embryonic development, bone metabolism, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis, whereas aberrant hyperactivation of this pathway drives the progression of malignancies and autoimmune disorders, including inflammatory ...
