This week’s Advanced Healthcare Materials covers.
Novel Formulation Additives for an Anti-Alzheimer’s Disease Drug
Tailor-made peptide-PEG conjugates are used as formulation additives to improve the water solubility of an anti-Alzheimer drug.
Genetically-Encoded Iron-Associated Proteins as MRI Reporter
Visualization of cells contributing to disease or cell therapy is critical for the success of regenerative medicine. Genetically encoded iron-associated proteins detectable with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be utilized for cell tracking in the brain, heart, and cancer.
Could Some Cases of Autism be Prevented by Nutritional Intervention?
In a Hypothesis article published in BioEssays, Arthur Beaudet speculates that brain carnitine deficiency might be the cause for about 10-20% of autism cases.
Understanding Mouth Development
The mouth is essential for eating and has ancient origins. A new review looks at the evolution of the mouth and insights into the vertebrate mouth opening from the frog Xenopus laevis.

Virtual Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms: Models and Uncertainty
Virtual endovascular treatment models (VETMs) have been developed with the view to aid interventional neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons to pre-operatively analyse the comparative efficacy and safety of endovascular treatments for intracranial aneurysms. Current deterministic computational simulations need to be extended with strategies for uncertainty mitigation, uncertainty exploration, and sensitivity reduction techniques.
