This paper addresses the growing integration of Augmented Reality (AR) in biomedical sciences, emphasizing collaborative learning experiences. We present MultiAR, a versatile, domain-specific platform enabling multi-user interactions in AR for biomedical education. Unlike platform-specific solutions, MultiAR supports various AR devices, including handheld and head-mounted options. The framework extends across domains, augmenting biomedical education applications with collaborative capabilities. We define essential requirements for a multi-user AR framework in education, detail MultiAR's design and implementation, and comprehensively evaluate it using anatomy education examples. Quantitative and qualitative analyses, covering system performance, accuracy metrics, and a user study with 20 participants, highlight the urgent need for a tailored collaborative AR platform in biomedical education. Results underscore enthusiasm for collaborative AR technology, endorsing MultiAR as an accessible, versatile solution for developers and end-users in biomedical education.

Background And Objectives: Medical clearance for return to play (RTP) after sports-related concussion is based on clinical assessment. It is unknown whether brain physiology has entirely returned to preinjury baseline at the time of clearance. In this longitudinal study, we assessed whether concussed individuals show functional and structural MRI brain changes relative to preinjury levels that persist beyond medical clearance.

Infected bone defects show a significant reduction in neovascularization during the healing process, primarily due to persistent bacterial infection and immune microenvironmental disorders. Existing treatments are difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments for infected bone defects, which is a key clinical therapeutic challenge that needs to be addressed. In this study, a conductive hydrogel based on copper nanoparticles was developed for controlling bacterial infection and remodeling the immune microenvironment.

The translocation dynamics of cells and particles through geometric constrictions are critical in biological and biomedical processes from splenic filtration to tumor metastasis. While particle stiffness plays a key role, its role in highly nonequilibrium states remains poorly understood. Here, we present a multiscale model to investigate the impact of particle stiffness on the translocation dynamics in microfluidic channels.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac diseases and a complicating comorbidity for multiple associated diseases. Many clinical decisions regarding AF are currently based on the binary recognition of AF being present or absent with the categorical appraisal of AF as continued or intermittent. Assessment of AF in clinical trials is largely limited to the time to (first) detection of an AF episode.

Recombinant human haemoglobin (rHb) is a tetramer protein with heme as cofactors, which have extensive applications in the fields of biomaterials and biomedical therapeutics. However, due to the poor structural stability, the dissociation of heme, weak oxygen transport efficiency, and lower activity, the utilisation of rHb is severely limited in artificial oxygen carriers. Herein, based on the novel developed high-throughput screening strategies and semi-rational design, the engineered rHb mutant with strong stability and heme-binding ability was obtained.
