Article Abstract

GaN-based light-emitting diode (LED) was fabricated on the sapphire substrate with monolithic convex microstructures (CMs) array. Using confocal scanning electroluminescence (EL), we have directly observed the strong outcoupling phenomenon of the light confined in a LED via the CMs array. This outcoupled light could be efficiently converged on the convex center through consecutive reflections at the flat area and the curved slant area of the CMs array. Compared to the conventional LED, the ray tracing simulation and far field EL results of the LED with a CM array showed efficient light extraction toward the top surface, i.e., 0-5, 40-45 and 60-65 degree by the outcoupling effect. We conclude that the outcoupled optical path via CMs is the dominant factor of the enhanced light extraction in the LED with a CM array.

Introduction: Efficient preclinical prediction of cardiovascular side effects poses a pivotal challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are becoming increasingly important in this field due to inaccessibility of human native cardiac tissue. Current preclinical hiPSC-CMs models focus on functional changes such as electrophysiological abnormalities, however other parameters, such as structural toxicity, remain less understood.

Nonclinical Human Cardiac New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) Predict Vanoxerine-Induced Proarrhythmic Potential.

J Cardiovasc Dev Dis

Division of Applied Regulatory Science, Office of Clinical Pharmacology, Office of Translational Sciences, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD 20993, USA.

New approach methodologies (NAMs), including microphysiological systems (MPSs), can recapitulate structural and functional complexities of organs. Vanoxerine was reported to induce cardiac adverse events, including torsade de points (TdP), in a Phase III clinical trial. Despite earlier nonclinical animal models and Phase I-II clinical trials, events of QT prolongation or proarrhythmia were not observed.

Doppler-based assessment of boiling histotripsy-induced volumetric tissue liquefaction in vivo.

Ultrasonics

Boiling histotripsy (BH) is a promising method for mechanical tissue fractionation and liquefaction, utilizing millisecond-long high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) pulses with shock fronts. Recent study has reported that cavitation bubbles induced during the BH pulse can move within the liquefied treated volume for a few milliseconds to seconds after each BH pulse ends. These bubble motions can be observed by ultrasound Doppler measurements, with maximum Doppler velocity showing significant potential as a metric to determine the treatment completion, as previously demonstrated in ex vivo setting.

Introduction: Drug-induced Torsades de Pointes (TdP) has led to withdrawal of several drugs from the market. Individuals with inherited cardiac channelopathies are at increased risk due to their underlying electrophysiological vulnerability.

Objectives: We aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) platform for disease-specific cardiotoxicity using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) combined with high-throughput microelectrode array (MEA) recordings.
