Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Optimal Design of Sparse Array for Ultrasonic Total Focusing Method by Binary Particle Swarm Optimization

IEEE Access, 2020
Ultrasonic phased array technology is used in various fields. Traditional full phased arrays place elements in every position of a uniform lattice with half-wavelength spacing between the lattice points, so the hardware cost is very high.

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.

From Displacement to Angle: Diamond‐Based 3D Rotation Sensing for High‐Precision Cellular Force Measurement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cellular forces are traditionally inferred from displacement measurements, which lack rotational information and are constrained by linear model assumptions. This work replaces displacement with rotational angle for the fundamental mechanical readout.

Flaw sizing with plane wave imaging (PWI) – total focusing method (TFM) and deep learning for reactor pressure vessel

NDT & E International
Developments in machine learning and deep convolutional networks (CNNs) have enabled automated assessment of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) data. Ultrasonic data is especially challenging for automated evaluation due to its complexity, multi-channel nature, and volume.

Challenges and enablers in fluidization technology

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Gas–solid fluidized beds provide excellent heat and mass transfer for high‐throughput operations from coating to catalytic conversion and underpin emerging low‐carbon technologies. Yet industrial reliability, scale‐up, and control lag scientific understanding, particularly as finer, stickier, and more variable feedstocks increasingly challenge

Effect of aesthetic crown lengthening on life quality and self‐esteem: 2‐year study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A gummy smile can result from several factors, often leading to a disharmonious appearance and causing physical and psychological discomfort for the patient. This study aimed to evaluate changes in self‐esteem and quality of life for patients, as well as the recidivism rate, following aesthetic crown lengthening (ACL) surgery ...
