Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.

A Bioinspired Underwater Soft Robot for Active Intravesical Liquid Delivery and Mixing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A bioinspired underwater soft robot is reported that integrates an elastic strain energy‐driven soft robotic pump with a programmable flexible magnetic valve, enabling remotely controlled, programmable, and sustained liquid release and mixing. This functionality is enabled by the synergistic integration of elastic strain energy‐driven pumping and ...

Baseline podocyte‐associated state and persistent cell–matrix transcriptional programs are associated with BALB/c substrain differences in adriamycin nephropathy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Two closely related BALB/c substrains exhibit different early responses to adriamycin (ADR)‐induced nephropathy. BALB/cByJcl mice showed lower baseline WT1‐positive nuclei counts and NPHS1 immunoreactivity than BALB/cAJcl mice, together with extracellular matrix and integrin programs that were enriched at baseline and persisted at Day 5.

Novel potential interacting partners of fibronectin in spontaneous animal model of interstitial cystitis [PDF]

, 2012
Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) is the only spontaneous animal model for human interstitial cystitis (IC), as both possess a distinctive chronical and relapsing character. Underlying pathomechanisms of both diseases are not clearly established yet.
