2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Molecular dynamics simulations of aptamer-binding reveal generalized allostery in thrombin [PDF]

Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2016
Thrombin is an attractive target for antithrombotic therapy due to its central role in thrombosis and hemostasis as well as its role in inducing tumor growth, metastasis, and tumor invasion. The thrombin-binding DNA aptamer (TBA), is under investigation for anticoagulant drugs.

Patient‐Derived 3D Heart‐On‐a‐Chip Model of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Embedded Bead‐Based Mapping of Tissue Contractility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.

In Vivo Monitoring of Thrombo‐Inflammatory Biomarkers via Molecularly Imprinted Polymer‐Integrated Hydrogel Microneedles

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A wearable electrochemical microneedle patch integrates Prussian Blue redox transduction with molecularly imprinted polymer recognition for reagent‐free sampling and detection of thrombo‐inflammatory biomarkers in dermal interstitial fluid. The platform tracks thrombin and inflammatory cytokines with sensitive in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo performance,

NMR resonance assignments of thrombin reveal the conformational and dynamic effects of ligation [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
The serine protease thrombin is generated from its zymogen prothrombin at the end of the coagulation cascade. Thrombin functions as the effector enzyme of blood clotting by cleaving several procoagulant targets, but also plays a key role in attenuating the hemostatic response by activating protein C.

Engineering Pluripotent Stem Cells‐Derived Inner Ear Organoids With Enhanced Maturation and Reproducibility by Micro‐Topographical Cues

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Micro‐topographical cues applied through temporally controlled microscale confinement improve the reproducibility, spatial organization, and neurosensory‐associated features of pluripotent stem cell‐derived inner ear organoids. Integration with a vascularized organoid platform further enables controlled investigation of vascular‐epithelial interactions

Thrombin-Induced Responses via Protease-Activated Receptor 1 Blocked by the Endothelium on Isolated Porcine Retinal Arterioles

, 2018
Purpose: Thrombin, a serine protease, causes organ-specific responses to vessels. However, the mechanism by which thrombin affects the retinal microcirculation remains unclear.
