The stability of wave conduction in the heart is strongly related to the proper interplay between the electrophysiological activation and mechanical contraction of myocytes and extracellular matrix (ECM) properties. In this study, we statistically compare bioengineered cardiac tissues cultured on soft hydrogels ( kPa) and rigid glass substrates by focusing on the critical threshold of alternans, network-physiological tissue properties, and the formation of stable spiral waves that manifest after wave breakups. For the classification of wave dynamics, we use an improved signal oversampling technique and introduce simple probability maps to identify and visualize spatially concordant and discordant alternans as V- and X-shaped probability distributions.

Background: Rigid fixation using a three-point skull clamp is a common practice during cranial surgery. Despite its frequency of use, rigid fixation is not without risk of complications including hemodynamic changes, skull fractures and venous thromboembolism. Given this, alternative head fixation should be considered when clinically appropriate.

A key challenge for the discrete distribution-based Förster resonance energy transfer system (D-FRET) is the reduced intensity and stability of signal probes in complex biological matrices. Here, we present a spatially confined FRET (SC-FRET) probe with a stable structure and strong signal output. It consists of multivalent FRET pairs labeled with FAM or TAMRA.

Conformationally rigid X-shaped PAHs are attracting interest due to their self-assembly into unique networks and as models to study through-space exciton and charge delocalization in one single molecule. We report here the synthesis of X-shaped PAHs by dimerization of diazaheptacene diimides. The diimide groups are employed to effectively direct the self-assembly into antiparallel dimer aggregates, which assist the compounds to undergo a regiocontrolled [4 + 4] dimerization, leading to an X-shaped conformation bearing electron-poor and -rich subunits.

Multidentate carboxylate ligands have been widely used in the construction of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) owing to the rich variety of their coordination modes, which can lead to crystalline products with interesting structures and properties. Two new main-group MOFs, namely, poly[[di-μ-aqua-diaqua(dimethylformamide)[μ-5,5'-methylenebis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato)]dibarium(II)] trihydrate], {[Ba(CHO)(CHNO)(HO)]·3HO} or {[Ba(BTMIPA)(DMF)(HO)]·3HO} (1), and poly[[diaqua[μ-5,5'-methylenebis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato)]dilead(II)] 2.5-hydrate], {[Pb(CHO)(HO)]·2.
