Turing pattern formation in reaction-cross-diffusion systems with a bilayer geometry by Diaz, A, Krause, A, Maini, PK, Gaffney, E, Seirin-Lee, S

“…Nonetheless, the impact of tissue stratification in such systems is under-explored, despite its ubiquity in the context of a thin epithelium overlying connective tissue, for instance the epidermis and underlying dermal mesenchyme of embryonic skin. In particular, each layer can be subject to extensively different biochemical reactions and transport processes, with chemotaxis - a special case of cross-diffusion - often present in the mesenchyme, contrasting the solely molecular transport typically found in the epidermal layer. …”

Clinical, Ethical, and Legal Considerations Raised by Self-Reported Genital Mutilation Following Voluntary Cosmetic Labiaplasty by Metaxas, T, Earp, BD, Bader, D, Ghasemi, S, Solari, M, Abdulcadir, J

“…Genital modifications experienced as harmful, or that are performed without informed consent, should be studied in relationship to one another and evaluated with consistent principles, regardless of the skin color of the individuals concerned, their cultural, ethnic, or religious background, or the name given to the genital modification they underwent.…”

Deep learning-based microcirculation performance classification using multispectral photoacoustic technology by Chua, Hui Ling, Huong, Audrey

A stretchable and self‐healing energy storage device based on mechanically and electrically restorative liquid‐metal particles and carboxylated polyurethane composites by Park, Sangbaek, Thangavel, Gurunathan, Parida, Kaushik, Li, Shaohui, Lee, Pooi See

“…Stretchable and self-healing (SH) energy storage devices are indispensable elements in energy-autonomous electronic skin. However, the current collectors are not self-healable nor intrinsically stretchable, they mostly rely on strain-accommodating structures that require complex processing, are often limited in stretchability, and suffer from low device packing density and fragility. …”

Double-microcrack coupling stretchable neural electrode for electrophysiological communication by Yang, Dan, Tian, Gongwei, Liang, Cuiyuan, Yang, Zixu, Zhao, Qinyi, Chen, Jianhui, Ma, Cong, Jiang, Ying, An, Na, Liu, Yan, Qi, Dianpeng

“…Developing neural electrodes with high stretchability and stable conductivity is a promising method to explore applications of them in biological medicine and electronic skin. However, considering the poor mechanical stretchability of typical conductive materials, maintaining the connection of electrode conductive paths under high stretching is still a challenge. …”

Evaluating factors affecting mean glandular dose in mammography: insights from a retrospective study in Dubai by Mohammad Noor, Kaltham Abdulwahid, Mohd Norsuddin, Norhashimah, Abdul Karim, Muhammad Khalis, Che Isa, Iza Nurzawani, Ulaganathan, Vaidehi

“…Weak inverse correlations were found between age and organ dose (OD) for both views, while a direct relationship was observed between breast thickness and entrance skin dose (ESD). In adjusted models, ESD was strongly associated with MGD (β = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.09), while OD showed a moderate association (β = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.40, 0.49). …”
