This paper analyzes esophageal compression during ACDF surgery using mechanical models and experiments, showing that blade design changes can reduce tissue stress and mitigate postoperative dysphagia.

This study uses biomechanical modeling to show that parrotfish beaks evolved to manage stress during feeding, with fused dentition reducing stress accumulation compared to discrete teeth.

This study evaluates bioabsorbable magnesium wires in a murine wound model, showing improved granulation tissue, reduced inflammation, and enhanced neovascularization.

This study develops a wireless optogenetic system to control genome editing and tumorigenesis in mice by using light-regulated recombinase and implantable devices.

The paper introduces an implantable device that autonomously detects and treats opioid overdose, improving survival rates by delivering naloxone and alerting first responders.

This paper introduces a microfluidic and fluorescence platform for in vivo neuropharmacology, enabling drug delivery and neural activity monitoring in rodent brains.
