Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Hierarchical Collagen Nanofiber Gels Recapitulate a Physiologically Relevant Tumor Stromal Microenvironment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The collagen nanofiber (CNF) gel supports cancer cell culture, exhibiting cell morphology and cancer‐related protein expression similar to Matrigel. It offers a higher collagen concentration than commercial gels. Additionally, the CNF gel allows replication of the high elasticity of in vivo cancer tissue by controlling collagen fiber sizes, ranging ...

Multifunctional Thiolated Hyaluronic Acid‐graft‐PEDOT Dressing With Antifouling, On‐Demand Drug Delivery and Electrical Stimulation for Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional P(EDOT‐co‐EDOT‐g‐THA) dressing acts as a dynamic biointerface integrating antifouling capability, on‐demand drug delivery, and electrical stimulation. It achieves electrochemically triggered thiolated hyaluronic acid (THA) release while modulating cellular responses for wound healing application.

Effects of Whole Body Vibration in Patients With COPD

COPD: Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, 2015
Whole body vibration training (WBVT) improves muscle force in healthy subjects. Resistance training (RT) is an important component of a pulmonary program.To investigate the effects of either 12 weeks WBVT or RT, both provided after 15 min of aerobic training as warming up.COPD patients, referred for pulmonary rehabilitation, were randomized to either a

Tumor‐Targeted Hyaluronic Acid/Tannic Acid‐Engineered Oxygen Nanogenerators With IR780 Payloads Enable Dual‐Mode Glutathione Depletion and Effective Singlet Oxygen Generation for Melanoma Treatment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A hyaluronic acid/tannic acid‐engineered Prussian blue oxygen nanogenerator loaded with IR780 is developed to enhance melanoma phototherapy. By integrating tumor targeting, oxygen self‐supply, and dual‐mode glutathione depletion, the nanoplatform effectively overcomes hypoxia and antioxidant defenses, potentiating synergistic photothermal/photodynamic ...

Transmission of Acceleration From a Synchronous Vibration Exercise Platform to the Head During Dynamic Squats

Dose-Response, 2019
Many research studies have evaluated the effects of whole-body vibration exercise on muscular strength, standing balance, and bone density, but relatively few reports have evaluated safety issues for vibration exercises. Knee flexion reduces acceleration

Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Training Combined With Cyclic Hypoxia on Bone Mineral Density in Elderly People

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Prevention and treatment of osteoporosis are an issue of great concern in public health so that the increase/maintenance of whole-body bone mineral density (BMD) is clinically relevant and could reduce the financial burden. Whole-body vibration (WBV) has

Perception of body movement when real and simulated displacements are combined. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Muscle-tendon vibration has often been used to study the contribution of proprioception to kinesthesia and postural control. This technique is known to simulate the lengthening of the vibrated muscle and, in the presence of balance constraints, evoke ...

Measurement of Whole‐Body Vibration in Taxi Drivers

Journal of Occupational Health, 2004
Measurement of Whole‐Body Vibration in Taxi Drivers: Mitsuhiko Funakoshi, et al. Kyushu Institute for Social Medicine—In a previous epidemiological study we reported that the prevalence (45.8%) of low‐back pain (LBP) and the two‐year incidence (25.9%) of LBP in 284 male taxi drivers in Japan was comparable with rates reported for other occupational ...
