Abstract The use of natural cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) has gained widespread attention in the field tissue engineering. However, current approaches for delivering functional scaffolds osteoarthritis (OA) therapy rely on knee surgery, which is limited by narrow and complex structure articular cavity carries risk injuring surrounding tissues. This work introduces a novel cell microcarrier, magnetized ECM‐derived (M‐CEDSs), are derived from decellularized porcine ECM. Human bone...
This letter presents a bioinspired composite finger with self-locking joints that can perform long-time and high-load (27.8 N) grasping tasks low power consumption. Inspired by the ratchet wrench, joint includes mechanism to provide large grip force for through mechanical interlocking. The uses two shape memory alloy coils (SMAc) drive tendon open locked position strength are studied kinematics finite element analysis. In experiments, motion of is optimized achieve robust grasp. A portable...
Cartilage Regeneration In article number 2304088, Feng Li, Dong Sun, and co-workers developed the cell delivery microrobot by a protocol combining decellularization magnetization. It is derived from decellularized natural porcine cartilage extracellular matrix, which has biomechanical environment to that of human can efficiently load functional cells while maintaining high mobility. preclinical tests, authors demonstrate therapeutical effects it for regeneration.
Magnetic microrobot swarms have broad application prospects in human-targeted therapy. However, the automated assembly and actuation of functional large-volume is a challenging topic. Chlorella with self-fluorescence biodegradability used this paper as template to prepare magnetic Chlorella-based microrobots through magnetron sputtering. The are realized using tweezer system robust field. Experimental results indicate that (MCS) possess excellent degradation capability mobility, enabling...
We developed a somatic cell nuclear transfer-electrofusion system for pairing and fusing oocytes cells with thousand-fold volume difference. The showed 90.56% efficiency, potentially boosting batch cloning efficiency.
