A prosthesis utilizing natural vestibular encoding strategies improves sensorimotor performance in monkeys. by Kantapon Pum Wiboonsaksakul, Dale C Roberts, Charles C Della Santina, Kathleen E Cullen

“…Taken together, our results establish that prosthesis encodings that incorporate naturalistic afferent dynamics and account for activation efficacy are well suited for restoration of gaze stability. More generally, these results emphasize the benefits of leveraging the brain's endogenous coding strategies in prosthesis development to improve functional outcomes.…”

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on violent extremism and organized crime in the Republic of Serbia by Đorić Marija, Životić Ilija

“…In the same period, 1,180 tablets of ecstasy and MDMA were seized, which is five times more than in 2019, as well as 36 weapons. The conclusion is that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the change in the functioning of violent extremism and organized crime, thus confirming the initial hypothesis of the author, that these are "tough phenomena" that adapt very quickly and easily to emerging social crises.…”

Nanostructured GelMA colloidal gels as bioinks for freeform multi-mode 3D printing: better replacement for the classical GelMA polymeric inks by Qifan Wang, Kaiwen Chen, Yonggang Zhang, Fei Shao, Xiangyuan Tan, Qiwei Ying, Libin Wang, Changle Ren, Lijun Zhang, Huanan Wang

“…Moreover, the granulation design of GelMA inks unlocked freeform 3D printing modes such as direct multi-ink writing, embedded printing, but also allowed in-situ printing directly at the bleeding wound sites due to the outstanding hemostatic efficacy and network stability of colloidal gels. In general, our nanostructured GelMA colloidal inks present a better replacement for the traditional GelMA polymeric inks in 3D bioprinting, which establishes a foundation for bench-to-bedside translations of 3D printing techniques towards more practical clinical applications.…”
