Spiral coils are indispensable part of implantable electronics for facilitating wireless power and data transfer. Although many advanced high Q receiver design have emerged, implementing and retaining high Q in biological medium so as to improve link efficiency is challenging. This article bridges the gap between advanced techniques towards improving link efficiency and the tissue losses that deteriorates the Q factor of coil in heterogeneous tissue medium. The purpose of this research is to improve the Q factor and bandwidth of the coil in tissue medium by reducing the net conductance of the coil in tissue medium, which is comparable to the net conductance in air. Bioimpedance of each layer of the eye is modelled to identify the highly capacitive and highly conductive tissue layer in the eye. To investigate the worst-case and best-case scenario, Q factor and bandwidth of the implant coil is analysed in the eye with and without aqueous humor which is a highly conductive and capacitive tissue layer in the eye. The coil is encapsulated with breast fat which possess lowest permittivity of all body tissue. After removing the high conductive tissue layer from the implantation zone, the Q factor and bandwidth of the coil is improved by 87.5 % and 97.7 % respectively. It is observed that 100 % Q at 10 MHz and 76.75 % of bandwidth is recovered in tissue medium after using breast fat as encapsulation layer. This demonstration of coil for various test cases in tissue medium aids to device a reliable, safe and efficient wireless power/data transfer system for artificial retina.

Liver organoids have been increasingly adopted as a critical in vitro model to study liver development and diseases. However, the pre-vascularization of liver organoids without affecting liver parenchymal specification remains a long-lasting challenge, which is essential for their application in regenerative medicine. Here, the large-scale formation of pre-vascularized human hepatobiliary organoids (vhHBOs) is presented without affecting liver epithelial specification via a novel strategy, namely nonparenchymal cell grafting (NCG).

Favipiravir, a broad-spectrum RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic, effectively reduces viral load but has been linked to inflammatory changes in tissues such as the liver and kidneys. High-dose and prolonged use of favipiravir for COVID-19 raises concerns about its potential toxic effects on the lungs, particularly in patients with pre-existing pulmonary conditions. This study investigated favipiravir's effects on lung tissue in healthy rats.

Age-related diseases are often linked to chronic inflammation. Senescent cells secrete inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and matrix metalloproteinases, collectively referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The current study discovered that aging leads to the accumulation of senescent tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) in tendon tissue, resulting in the development of a SASP.

Bovine besnoitiosis, a disease caused by the tissue cyst-forming apicomplexan Besnoitia besnoiti, is re-emerging in Europe, leading to significant impairment of health and production, as well as economic losses. The early detection of the disease is of the utmost importance for the implementation of effective control measures, yet this is a challenge due to the lack of specific early clinical signs. The objectives of our study were 1) to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of three tests to detect B.

Aims: Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) exhibit an enormous potential to regenerate periodontal tissue. However, their translatability to the clinical setting is constrained by technical difficulties in standardizing culture conditions. The aim was to assess complex culture conditions using a proteomic-based protocol to standardize multi-layer hPDLSC cultivation methodology.
