The ProblemImplanted stents can develop plaque due to the systemic nature of cardiovascular disease, leading to clotted arteries. Our IdeaA dissolvable, 3D-printed stent that shows similar safety and efficacy to commercially produced versions. Why It MattersDissolvable, 3D-printed stents could lead to reduced side effects compared to traditional stents. Our TeamProfessor Guillermo Ameer, Professor Cheng SunImplanted stents have saved countless lives.

AbstractNucleoporins (NUPs) comprise nuclear pore complexes, gateways for nucleocytoplasmic transport. As primary human keratinocytes switch from the progenitor state towards differentiation, most NUPs are strongly downregulated, with NUP93 being the most downregulated NUP in this process. To determine if this NUP downregulation is accompanied by a reduction in nuclear pore numbers, we leveraged Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy.

Figure 1a illustrates a representative configuration of the MRR that consists of a ring waveguide and a matching straight bus waveguide separated by a low dielectric gap. The bus waveguide serves as the light input and output ports. The light entering the bus waveguide is evanescently coupled into the ring waveguide across the low dielectric gap. The coupled light wave circulates inside the ring waveguide leading to a strong optical resonance via the whispering-gallery-mode [36].
