Tunable 3D‐Printed Static Mixers for Gradient Bioprinting With High Cell Viability
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fabrication of native tissue‐like structures with gradual transitions in material properties, cell types, and growth factors remains a major challenge in biofabrication due to the lack of suitable methods. Mimicking the hierarchical organization of living tissues is essential for functional models, yet creating gradient, multimaterial ...

A Pressure Microsensor Made of Parylene‐C for Use as Medical Implant
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A monolithic parylene‐C pressure sensor with gold strain gauges provides 6.2 μV$\mu{\rm V}$·mmHg$\cdot{\rm mmHg}$−1$^{-1}$ sensitivity. The morphology of a sputtered thin film strain sensor is granular/columnar, which results in a high gauge factor of 7.5. Thermal bonding and parylene‐C coating create a hermetic cavity.

Circulating microbiome in patients with portal hypertension
Gut Microbes, 2022 Portal hypertension (PH) in liver cirrhosis leads to increased gut permeability and the translocation of bacteria across the gut–liver axis. Microbial DNA has recently been detected in different blood compartments; however, this phenomenon has not been ...

Additive Manufacturing of Patient‐Specific Intracranial Aneurysm Cell Culture Models
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Patient‐specific intracranial aneurysm models were fabricated using chocolate moulding, 3D printed water‐soluble cores, and direct resin 3D printing. Moulding PDMS around sacrificial cores made of chocolate or 3D printed water‐soluble resin yielded accurate, expandable, and endothelializable models that outperformed resin‐based approaches.

An investigation into the relationship between small intestinal fluid secretion and systemic arterial blood pressure in the anesthetized rat [PDF]
, 2015 In the absence of an ability to absorb fluid by cellular uptake mechanisms, fluid movement in vivo from the perfused rat intestine is absorptive when the diastolic blood pressure is normal or very low but is secretory when blood pressure falls below ...

ELABELA Targets Mitochondria to Modulate Heart Development
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The role of peptide ELABELA (ELA) in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and congenital heart disease (CHD) is unclear. ELA deficiency caused cardiomyocyte apoptosis and CHD. A novel ELA‐APJ‐AKT‐BCL2/BAX axis in regulating mitochondrial function and contributing to CHD pathogenesis was established.
