A closer look at nature has recently brought more interest in exploring and utilizing intra-body communication networks composed of cells as intrinsic, perfectly biocompatible infrastructures to deliver therapeutics. ...

Because of the aging human population and increased numbers of surgical procedures being performed, there is a growing number of biomedical devices being implanted each year. Although the benefits of implants are significant, ...

During the last decade, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged in the scientific community because of their potential as natural drug nanocarriers and biomarkers in disease diagnosis, especially for cancer. While a few ...

Cardiovascular diseases continue to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cardiomyocytes, as the elementary heart components, play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy heart by coordinating contractions ...

There is continuous interest in maximizing the longevity of implantable pacemakers, which are effective in remedying and managing patients with arrhythmic heart disease. This paper accordingly first proposes miniature ...

Blood vessels are flow-induced diffusive molecular channels equipped with transport mechanisms across their walls for conveying substances between the organs in the body. Mathematical modeling of the blood vessel as a ...

The myelin sheath, as an insulation layer in nerve cells, plays an essential role in neural communication and signal conduction. Loss of myelin, referred to as demyelination, is associated with many mental disorders. ...

Although single-node leadless pacemakers eliminate several complications associated with subcutaneous pockets and leads, they have the significant limitation of only being able to perform single-chamber pacing. Multi-nodal ...
