Soft robots can provide advantages for medical interventions given their low cost and their ability to change shape and safely apply forces to tissue. This article explores the potential for their use for endoscopically-guided balloon dilation proced...
Macrophages play an important role in the adaptive immune system. Their ability to neutralize cellular targets through Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis has relied upon immunotherapy that has become of particular interest for the treatment of cancer ...
Early theories of efficient coding suggested the visual system could compress the world by learning to represent features where information was concentrated, such as contours. This view was validated by the discovery that neurons in posterior visual ...
Wound closure with surgical sutures is a critical challenge for flexible endoscopic surgeries. Substantial efforts have been introduced to develop functional and smart surgical sutures to either monitor wound conditions or ease the complexity of knot...
