Intelligent Soft Opto‐Magnetic Robot for Minimally Invasive Interventional Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An intelligent soft opto‐magnetic (iSOM) robot is developed that integrates remote magnetic actuation, skin‐mimic tactile perception, and photothermal ablation in a near‐millimeter‐scale design. It enables precise intraluminal navigation and localized ablation while providing real‐time optical feedback to support safe and accurate minimally invasive ...

Reported Xylazine Use Among Adults Aged ≥18 Years Evaluated for Substance Use Treatment — United States, July 2022–September 2023

MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report
Xylazine has been increasingly detected in illegally manufactured fentanyl (IMF) products and overdose deaths in the United States; most xylazine-involved overdose deaths involve IMF. A convenience sample of U.S. adults aged ≥18 years was identified from

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Simultaneous submicrometric 3D imaging of the micro-vascular network and the neuronal system in a mouse spinal cord [PDF]

, 2014
Defaults in vascular (VN) and neuronal networks of spinal cord are responsible for serious neurodegenerative pathologies. Because of inadequate investigation tools, the lacking knowledge of the complete fine structure of VN and neuronal systems is a ...

An in vivo assay for osteoclast activity using mouse calvaria

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study describes a novel method for measuring osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption in vivo using a mouse model. Localized injection of RANKL in a basement membrane matrix above the cranium induced osteoclast‐mediated bone resorption. Utilizing micro‐computed tomography and a semiautomated three‐dimensional analysis program, osteoclast resorption pit

Syringe services program staff and participant perspectives on changing drug consumption behaviors in response to xylazine adulteration

Harm Reduction Journal
Background Xylazine is an increasingly common adulterant in the North American unregulated drug supply that is associated with adverse health outcomes (e.g., skin infections, overdose). However, there are significant knowledge gaps regarding how xylazine

Guanylyl cyclase activation reverses resistive breathing–induced lung injury and inflammation [PDF]

, 2015
Inspiratory resistive breathing (RB), encountered in obstructive lung diseases, induces lung injury. The soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway is down-regulated in chronic and acute animal models of RB, such as ...
