Poisson's Ratio‐Driven Control of Myogenic Differentiation and Maturation in Auxetic Metamaterials under Dynamic Mechanical Stimulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explored how innovative “auxetic” scaffolds, which expand when stretched, influence skeletal muscle development. Researchers cultured muscle cells on different scaffold designs and applied repeated stretching over 10 days. They found that scaffold geometry affected muscle cell differentiation and fiber formation.

Anti‐Inflammatory and Neuroactive Effects of Polymer‐Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized With Interleukin 4 for Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated IONPs functionalized with IL‐4 display respective neuroactive and anti‐inflammatory actions on neural progenitor cells and macrophages/microglia in vitro. When examined chronically in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury, rGO scaffolds carrying these nanosystems adequately integrate into the lesion, significantly reduce ...

Disruption of Radiological Surveillance Following a Global Health Crisis in Resected Lung Cancer

Thoracic Cancer
Objectives Radiological surveillance after curative‐intent lung cancer resection is essential for early detection of recurrence and second primary tumors. Large‐scale health emergencies can compromise oncologic follow‐up. This study quantifies the impact

pH‐Responsive Synthetic Cells for Programmable In Situ Protein Synthesis and Release

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A synthetic cell is engineered to convert environmental acidification into nucleic acid signaling that activates protein synthesis. By coupling proton‐channel sensing, pH‐responsive DNA transduction, and toehold‐regulated translation, the platform enables acid‐triggered protein production within hydrogel‐embedded synthetic cells.

Surgical Site Infections Are Associated With Higher Blood Loss and Open Access in General Thoracic Practice

Frontiers in Surgery, 2021
Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most costly and second most frequent healthcare-associated infections in the Western world. They are responsible for higher postoperative mortality and morbidity rates and longer hospital stays. The aim
