It is well established that ototoxic antibiotics and acoustic trauma can damage cochlear hair cells and cause hearing loss. Previous studies using transcanal LLLT (Low level laser therapy) showed that LLLT can promote recovery of hearing thresholds and cochlear hair cells. However, its mechanism has not been studied.…

Ultrasound-induced inertial cavitation is a mechanical process used for site-localized therapies such as non-invasive surgery. Initiating cavitation in tissue requires very high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and low-frequencies. Hence, some applications like thrombolysis require targeted contrast agents to reduc…

The incorporation of CdO and CuO in the crystal structure of calcium silicate hydrates (C–S–H) during hydrothermal treatment at 200°C was examined. The synthesis of C–S–H was carried out in unstirred suspensions for 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 and 72 h at 200°C. The molar ratios of the primary mixture were CaO/(SiO2+X) = 0·5…

Enzyme-assisted 3D lithography: A peptide substrate for transglutaminase factor XIII (FXIIIa) can be caged with a photo-deprotectable group and immobilized to the hydrogel framework. The substrate can be decaged by using multiphoton light to anchor cell-signaling motifs in a spatial specific manner.
