A research paper by scientists at Shanghai Jiao Tong University presented a novel integrated piezoelectric module (IPEM) based on a piezoelectric ceramic element designed specifically for bio-membrane puncture and insertion applications.
The research paper, published on Oct. 21, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.
Scientists collected and analyzed lung samples from pneumonia patients. Samples fell into one of four distinct microbial patterns. Lung microbiomes resembling oral microbiomes were associated with recovery. Dynamic, rather than static, microbiomes also were associated with recovery.
