Technical hurdles in a culture of epithelial cells include dedifferentiation and loss of function. Biomimetic three-dimensional (3D) cell culture methods can enhance cell culture efficiency. This study introduces an advanced two-layered culture system intended to cultivate epithelial cells as tissue-like layers with the culture of fibroblasts within a 3D environment.

Unlabelled: With the advent of robot-assisted surgery, user-friendly technologies have been applied to the da Vinci surgical system (dVSS), and their efficacy has been validated in worldwide surgical fields. However, further improvements are required to the traditional manipulation methods, which cannot control an endoscope and surgical instruments simultaneously. This study proposes a speech recognition control interface (SRCI) for controlling the endoscope via speech commands while manipulating surgical instruments to replace the traditional method.

Arrhythmias are among the diseases with high mortality rates worldwide, causing millions of deaths each year. This underscores the importance of real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring for timely heart disease diagnosis and intervention. Deep learning models, trained on ECG signals across twelve or more leads, are the predominant approach for automated arrhythmia detection in the AI-assisted medical field.
