Wall shear stress as a modulator of aortic dissection: mechanistic insights from patient-specific modeling and organ-on-a-chip validation

Research

Recently, a team at Soochow University integrated computational fluid dynamics with fluid-structure interaction modeling to quantify WSS in 33 AD patients and 25 controls, revealing a 2-fold higher peak WSS in AD patients that strongly correlated with AD initiation and progression. To mimic AD-relevant WSS microenvironments, they developed an AD-specific organ-on-a-chip (OOC) system, which recapitulated key AD pathologies, including mitochondrial dysfunction, smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic switching, and abnormal mechanotransduction.

Frequency-specific transcranial photobiomodulation elicits complementary glial mechanisms for neurovascular protection and amyloid clearance in Alzheimer's disease

Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., Ltd
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research paper by scientists from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College applied transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) with continuous-wave (CW) and 40-Hz pulsed light to target neurovascular pathology in 5xFAD mice.

The new research paper, published on Jun. 23 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, has uncovered how two distinct transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) protocols–continuous‑wave (CW) and 40‑Hz pulsed light–can tackle both amyloid pathology and vascular impairment through different glial‑mediated mechanisms.

Enhancing shape sensing of slender medical continuum robot using carbon nanotube piezoresistive fiber bandage

Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., Ltd
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research paper by scientists from Zhejiang University presented a novel approach utilizing thin and flexible carbon nanotube piezoresistive fibers as a bandage, helically integrated on the surface of existing slender medical continuum robots for shape sensing.

The new research paper, published on Jun. 24 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, has developed a simple, low‑cost alternative: a carbon‑nanotube piezoresistive fiber bandage that wraps around the outside of any existing continuum robot and lets it “feel” its own shape in real time.
