Researchers have developed electronic blood vessels that can be actively tuned to address subtle changes in the body after implantation. The blood vessels- made of a metal-polymer conductor membrane that’s flexible and biodegradable, mimic natural blood vessels, awere conducive in vitro experiments, and were able to effectively replace key arteries in rabbits.

Where marks are usually lost

Stress: bi·o·de·GRAD·a·ble, im·plan·TA·tion, ex·PER·i·ments, ef·FEC·tive·ly, e·lec·TRON·ic, con·DUC·tive. in in vitro is correct — read both ins without stumbling. Keep -s/-ed: vessels, changes, arteries, rabbits, developed, tuned.

General tip: vitro is /ˈviːtrəʊ/; metal-polymer is one unit — glide across the hyphen rather than pausing.

What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt

中文: 研究人员开发出电子血管,可在植入后主动调节,以应对体内的细微变化。这些血管由柔性、可生物降解的金属—聚合物导电膜制成,模拟天然血管,在体外实验中具有导电性,并能有效替换兔子的关键动脉。

हिन्दी: शोधकर्ताओं ने ऐसी इलेक्ट्रॉनिक रक्त वाहिकाएँ विकसित की हैं जिन्हें प्रतिरोपण के बाद शरीर में सूक्ष्म परिवर्तनों के अनुसार सक्रिय रूप से समायोजित किया जा सकता है। ये रक्त वाहिकाएँ — लचीली और जैव-अपघटनीय धातु-पॉलीमर चालक झिल्ली से बनी — प्राकृतिक रक्त वाहिकाओं की नकल करती हैं, इन-विट्रो प्रयोगों में चालक थीं, और खरगोशों में प्रमुख धमनियों को प्रभावी रूप से प्रतिस्थापित कर सकीं।

नेपाली: अनुसन्धानकर्ताहरूले इलेक्ट्रोनिक रक्तनलीहरू विकास गरेका छन्, जसलाई प्रत्यारोपणपछि शरीरका सूक्ष्म परिवर्तनहरू सम्बोधन गर्न सक्रिय रूपमा समायोजन गर्न सकिन्छ। लचिलो र जैविक रूपमा कुहिने धातु-पोलिमर चालक झिल्लीबाट बनेका यी रक्तनलीहरूले प्राकृतिक रक्तनलीको नक्कल गर्छन्, इन-भिट्रो प्रयोगहरूमा चालक थिए, र खरायोका मुख्य धमनीहरूलाई प्रभावकारी रूपमा प्रतिस्थापन गर्न सके।

Tiếng Việt: Các nhà nghiên cứu đã phát triển mạch máu điện tử có thể được điều chỉnh chủ động để đáp ứng những thay đổi tinh vi trong cơ thể sau khi cấy ghép. Những mạch máu này — làm từ màng dẫn điện kim loại–polymer linh hoạt và phân hủy sinh học — mô phỏng mạch máu tự nhiên, dẫn điện trong thí nghiệm in vitro, và có thể thay thế hiệu quả các động mạch chính ở thỏ.
