Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

An exercise on developing an ontology-epistemology about schizophrenia and neuroanatomy [PDF]
, 2009 This paper describes preliminary ideas on formalizing some concepts of neuroanatomy into ontological and epistemological terms. We envisage the application of this ontology on the assimilation of facts about medical knowledge about neuroimages from ...

An Ionic Gelation Powder for Ultrafast Hemostasis and Accelerated Wound Healing
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An ultrafast ionic gelation‐activated hemostatic powder (AGCL) forms a hydrogel within ≈1 s upon contact with blood‐derived calcium ions. The AGCL powder enables rapid hemorrhage control, strong tissue adhesion, and enhanced healing. The powder's pre‐crosslinked polymer network ensures high blood uptake and stability, offering effective treatment for ...

β Subunits Control the Effects of Human Kv4.3 Potassium Channel Phosphorylation
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 The transient outward K+ current, Ito, activates early in the cardiac myocyte action potential, to begin repolarization. Human Ito is generated primarily by two Kv4.3 potassium channel α subunit splice variants (Kv4.3L and Kv4.3S) that diverge only by a ...

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...
