The object of the publication is the presentation of data referring to in vivo silicones biodegradation and their potential clinical and molecular consequences. Summing up, one needs to state that the products of silicones biodegradation are not biologically indifferent. In particular, different types of silanols are inhibitors of proteolytic enzymes and regulators of many metabolic processes as well as affect the cell growth and division, which distinctly indicates the potentially strong pharmacological action. The main objective of the molecular consequences of the biodegradation of siloxanes was the verification what impact siloxanes of various molecular weights and of various chain lengths exert on the conformational stability of biological molecules.

Significance: Pulse oximeter measurements are commonly relied upon for managing patient care and thus often require human testing before they can be legally marketed. Recent clinical studies have also identified disparities in their measurement of blood oxygen saturation by race or skin pigmentation.
Aim: The development of a reliable bench-top performance test method based on tissue-simulating phantoms has the potential to facilitate pre-market assessment and the development of more accurate and equitable devices.

Conventional wearable flexible sensing systems typically comprise three components: a flexible substrate that contacts the skin, a signal processing module, and a signal output module. These components function relatively independently, resulting in a complex system that lacks sufficient integration. Therefore, developing an integrated wearable flexible sensing system by combining the flexible substrate, the signal processing module, and the signal output module not only enhances performance and comfort, but also reduces manufacturing costs and the risk of failure.

Purpose: Fetal nucleated red blood cells (fNRBCs) in the peripheral blood of pregnant women contain comprehensive fetal genetic information, making them an ideal target for non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD). However, challenges in identifying, enriching, and detecting fNRBCs limit their diagnostic potential.
Methods: To overcome these obstacles, we developed a novel biomimetic chip, replicating the micro-nano structure of red rose petals on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
