Objectives: Cochlear implants are an established and proved method for auditory rehabilitation. In addition, neuromodulation systems for treating severe movement and pain disorders are gaining importance. To date, there is limited information regarding the concurrent use of the various implanted systems and potential electromagnetic interferences.

- * The study introduces a new polyurethane urea (PUU) hydrogel that is sprayable, biodegradable, fast-curing, and adaptable in shape, showing promising results for preventing adhesions.
- * The PUU hydrogel exhibits quick curing times, resilience to mechanical stress, biocompatibility, and appropriate degradation rates, effectively acting as a barrier against cell invasion and providing a framework for future hydrogel development for surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists are working on using stem cells to create insulin-producing cells to help treat type 1 diabetes.
- They developed a method to speed up the process of making these cells by adding specific signals that help them mature faster.
- The new cells show some of the right markers and can respond to sugar levels, but they still need more improvement to work as well as insulin-producing cells from adults.
We present a novel lung aerosol exposure system named MALIES (modular air-liquid interface exposure system), which allows three-dimensional cultivation of lung epithelial cells in alveolar-like scaffolds (MatriGrids) and exposure to nanoparticle aerosols. MALIES consists of multiple modular units for aerosol generation, and can be rapidly assembled and commissioned. The MALIES system was proven for its ability to reliably produce a dose-dependent toxicity in A549 cells using CuSO aerosol.
