Curved Bistable Origami‐Inspired Flexible Transcatheter Mitral Valve Clamping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A lightweight bistable curved origami dilator combines reversible deformation and high stability, offering a promising solution for minimally invasive mitral valve repair. Abstract Curved origami exhibits remarkable potential for minimally invasive medical applications owing to its unique geometric programmability and mechanical tunability. Building on

Marfan Syndrome Associated With Intellectual Disability and Behavioral Anomalies: Further Evidence for the Effect of Compound Heterozygous Variants in FBN1 on Phenotypic Severity

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by involvement of the cardiovascular, ocular, and musculoskeletal systems. Pathogenic variants in FBN1 cause most of the MFS cases; however, intellectual disability (ID) is rarely observed. A non‐consanguineous Pakistani family with four affected individuals was recruited.

ZSF1 lean rats – How healthy are they?

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study aimed to examine the health status, specifically the physiology and myocardial, vascular, and skeletal muscle function of lean ZSF1 rats by comparing them to age‐ and sex‐matched Wistar rats. Compared to Wistar controls, ZSF1 lean rats exhibited lower body weight, but showed increased heart, and skeletal muscle mass.

Renal vessel–assisted anastomosis improves the abdominal heart transplant model in rats without bilateral lower limb ischemia

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A modified heterotopic heart transplantation (HTx) in rats was reported to improve the surgical success rate, in which the donor's vessels, the brachiocephalic trunk (BT) and the pulmonary artery (PA), were sutured to the recipient's left renal artery (RA) and left renal vein (RV).

Chronic high‐fat diet induces multi‐organ dysfunction and metabolic homeostasis disruption in Macaca fascicularis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
An 18‐month HFD successfully established a translational Macaca fascicularis model replicating key metabolic disorders (MASH, diabetes, cardiac hypertrophy). MASH was determined by liver biopsy histology, the presence steatosis, inflammatory infiltration, hepatocytic ballooning, and fibrosis were considered as MASH; diabetes was diagnosed according to ...
