Encapsulation of insulin-producing cells is a promising strategy for treatment type 1 diabetes. However, engineering an encapsulation device that both safe (i.e., no cell escape and breakage) functional low foreign-body response (FBR) high mass transfer) remains challenge. Here, family zwitterionic polyurethanes (ZPU) with sulfobetaine groups in the polymer backbone developed, which are fabricated into devices tunable nanoporous structures via electrospinning. The ZPU hydrophilic...
Reducing biofouling while increasing lubricity of inserted medical catheters is highly desirable to improve their comfort, safety, and long-term use. We report here a simple method create thin (∼30 μm) conformal lubricating hydrogel coatings on catheters. The key this three-step process including shape-forming, gradient cross-linking, swell-peeling (we label as SGS). First, we took advantage the fast gelation agar form layer catheters; then, performed surface-bound UV cross-linking...
Abstract Automated delivery of insulin based on continuous glucose monitoring is revolutionizing the way insulin‐dependent diabetes treated. However, challenges remain for widespread adoption these systems, including requirement a separate sensor, sophisticated electronics and algorithms, need significant user input to operate costly therapies. Herein, user‐centric glucose‐responsive cannula reported electronics‐free delivery. The cannula—made from tough, elastomer‐hydrogel hybrid membrane...
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that caused COVID-19 pandemic, can remain viable and infectious on surfaces for days, posing a potential risk fomite transmission. Liquid-based disinfectants, such as chlorine-based ones, have played an indispensable role in decontaminating but they do not provide prolonged protection from recontamination. Here safe, inexpensive, scalable membrane with covalently immobilized chlorine, large surface area, fast wetting exhibits long-lasting, exceptional killing efficacy...
Abstract The emergence of novel techniques in biology and material science, coupled with greater understandings cell–material interactions, have given rise to the creation living materials bioarchitectures imbued engineered behaviors. These multidimensional constructs capable performing programmable time‐ or stimuli‐dependent activities, namely 4D behaviors, may do so as a result features alone, product incorporated biological cellular agents. This review discusses fabrication strategies...
Abstract Traditionally founded in the arts and architecture, design studios provide a distinctively inquiry-based, student-centered environment which creative problem-solving potential is unfolded through iterative hands-on experimentation. A key pedagogical component of studio environments real-time feedback on outputs that provided to students both peer learning instructional team engagement low-stakes environment. This work-in-progress paper describes use an observational protocol...
