Assessment of thermal-hydraulic performance in synthetic-jet-actuated ribbed channels
This study proposes a thermal management strategy that integrates a zero-net-mass-flux synthetic jet (SJ) into a ribbed channel to intensify heat transfer in confined spaces. A validated finite-volume method is employed to assess the SJ-induced phase-dependent modulation of the t...

Immunosuppression in vascularized composite allotransplantation
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) restores form and function after disfiguring tissue loss with the required need for lifelong immunosuppression for a non-life-saving indication, creating a distinct risk-benefit ratio compared to other solid orga...

Gut Microbiota and Brain Aging: Identifying Keystone Biomarkers for Cognitive Health
The fact that the population is getting older has greatly increased the occurrence of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases, underlining the importance of having reliable biomarkers that can measure biological aging before irreversible neurological damage takes place....
