Smooth Muscle Mechanosensitivity Generates and Maintains Pressure Gradients Across the Intestine
Mechanosensitivity of the smooth muscle induces a positive‐feedback loop that spontaneously generates pressure gradients across gut segments and stabilizes initially applied pressure gradients. It can act jointly or compete with the pressure gradient induced by directional peristaltic waves.

A Novel Compact Microwave Radiometric Sensor to Noninvasively Track Deep Tissue Thermal Profiles [PDF]
Drawing from space technology to measure star temperature, we developed a noninvasive sensor to passively track thermal profiles in tissues well below the skin (\u3e5cm). Ultra-low noise amplifiers combined with ultralow-loss switches in the 1- 2GHz band
