Photoacoustic imaging is a hybrid modality that combines high-contrast and spectroscopy-based optical imaging specificity with the high spatial resolution of ultrasonography. This review highlights the development and progress of photoacoustic imaging …

Introduction: Traditional cancer treatment strategies often have severe toxic side effects and poor therapeutic efficacy. To address the long-standing problems related to overcoming the complexity of tumors, we develop a novel nanozyme based on the in …

The development of a non-invasive infection-specific diagnostic probe holds the potential to vastly improve early-stage detection of infection, enabling precise therapeutic intervention and potentially reducing the incidence of antibiotic resistance. …

The minimally invasive injection of tissue engineering scaffolds is of interest as it requires a smaller incision and quickens recovery. However, the engineering of scaffolds capable of injection remains a challenge. Here, we report on a shrunken scaffold …

The risk of early recurrent events after stroke remains high despite currently established secondary prevention strategies1. Risk is particularly high in patients with atherosclerosis, with more than 10% of patients experiencing early recurrent events1,2. …

Image-based deformation estimation is an important tool used in a variety of engineering problems, including crack propagation, fracture, and fatigue failure. These tools have been important in biomechanics research where measuring in vitro and in vivo …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular disease, while there is a lack of pharmaceutical interventions to halt AAA progression presently. To address the multifaceted pathology of AAA, this work develops a novel multifunctional gene …

Mutations in fibrillin 1 (FBN1) is the main cause of Marfan syndrome (MFS) with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) as the main complication. Activation of the complement system plays a key role in the formation of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms. …

Cardiac dysfunction is a common feature of numerous diseases, ranging from metabolic disorders like Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 1 (MPS I), a.k.a. Hurler syndrome to neuromuscular disorders such as Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The ability to quantify …

Endometriosis is a common condition that affects 5% to 10% of women during their reproductive years, although the aetiology and pathophysiology are still unknown. This study aimed to create an endometriosis model in rats to investigate the efficacy of …
