Extracellular Vesicles Modulation by an Adiponectin Receptor Agonist Provides Cardioprotection for Myocardial Ischemic Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ALY688, a drug mimicking the heart‐protective hormone adiponectin, reduces myocardial ischemia injury. ALY688 increases the production of extracellular vesicles, which carry protective cargo including adiponectin itself.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

TECHNICAL PARAMETERS AND CRITERIA FOR VIRTUAL BRONCHOSCOPY IN DIAGNOSTICS OF TRACHIAL AND BRONCHIAL RUPTURES [PDF]

Trakia Journal of Sciences, 2020
VB is a non-invasive technique and follow-up tool tolerant of most patients, requiring a precise method of diagnosis, especially in ruptures with the formation of high-grade stenoses for which FB is not applicable, as well as in children and elderly or ...

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

G3BP1 Succinylation at K413 is Critical for Cardiac Function by Modulating PI3K‐AKT‐mTOR Signal Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating the impact of G3BP1 succinylation at K413 on cardiac function. In the healthy human heart, G3BP1 succinylation maintains homeostatic mTOR signaling. In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure (HF), G3BP1 de‐succinylation induces RagA expression and disrupts the binding of the TSC1/2 complex, leading to the ...

Tracheal laceration during intubation of a double-lumen tube and intraoperative fiberoptic bronchoscopic evaluation through an LMA in the lateral position -A case report- [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2011
A 76-year-old, 148-cm woman was scheduled for right upper lobectomy. A 32 Fr left-sided double lumen tube was placed using a conventional technique. Despite several attempts under fiberoptic bronchoscope-guidance, we could not locate the double lumen ...

Relaxation effects of Eriobotrya japonica toward tracheal smooth muscle via action mechanism on histamine-1 receptor and phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme

Journal of Advanced Pharmaceutical Technology & Research, 2021
The Eriobotrya japonica leaves have the activity to relax the smooth muscle in the respiratory tract. However, the mechanism of action due to that activity has never been carried out. This study aims to determine the relaxation effects of E.

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.
