Bioprinting is an application of additive manufacturing that can deliver promising results in regenerative medicine. Hydrogels, as the most used materials bioprinting, are experimentally analyzed to assure printability and suitability for cell culture. Besides hydrogel features, inner geometry microextrusion head might have equal impact not only on but also cellular viability. In this regard, standard 3D printing nozzles been widely studied reduce pressure get faster printings using highly...
Bioinks are usually cell-laden hydrogels widely studied in bioprinting performing experimental tests to tune their rheological properties, thus increasing research time and development costs. Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool that can minimize iterations costs simulating the material behavior using parametric changes properties under testing. Additionally, most bioinks have specific functionalities might change with temperature. Therefore, commercial an excellent way...
Many urologists are currently studying new designs of ureteral stents to improve the quality their operations and subsequent recovery patient. In order help during this design process, many computational models have been developed simulate behaviour different biological tissues provide a realistic environment evaluate stents. However, due high complexity involved tissues, they usually introduce simplifications make these less computationally demanding. study, interaction between urine flow...
Bioprinting is a complex process, highly dependent on bioink properties (materials and cells) environmental conditions (mainly temperature, humidity CO2 concentration) during the bioprinting process. To guarantee proper cellular viability an accurate geometry, it mandatory to control all these factors. Despite internal factors, such as printing pressures, temperatures or speeds, being well-controlled in actual bioprinters, there lack controlling of external parameters, room temperature...
Previous studies have shown that the handle design of laparoscopic instruments is crucial to surgical performance and surgeon’s ergonomics. In this study, four different sizes an ergonomic were tested in a blind randomized fashion with twelve surgeons. They performed three tasks order analyze influence size. Execution time, wrist posture, finger palm pressure evaluated during each task. The results show significant reduction time required complete eye-manual coordination task using...
3D bioprinting, like printing, is a process that builds structures by depositing material layer layer. In the specific case of these layers are composed biocompatible together with living cells, allowing creation three-dimensional recreate functional tissues and organs. Bioprinting cell-laden complicated high rate cell damage stress occurs during process, caused pressures stresses to which they subjected. To minimise it important study optimise certain bioprinting conditions beforehand...
Bioprinting is a promising emerging technology. It has been widely studied by the scientific community for possibility to create transplantable artificial tissues, with minimal risk patient. Although biomaterials and cells be used are being carefully studied, there still long way go before bioprinter can easily quickly produce printings without harmful effects on cells. In this sense, we have developed new μ-extrusion formed an Atom Proton 3D printer, atmospheric enclosure extrusion-head...
Polypropylene (PP) mesh is well-known as a gold standard of all prosthetic materials choice for the reinforcement soft tissues in case hernia, organ prolapse, and urinary incontinence. The adverse effects that follow surgical implantation remain an unmet medical challenge. Herein, it outlined new approach to allow viability adhesion human menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MenSCs) on PP meshes. A multilayered fibrin coating, based fibrinogen thrombin from commercial sealant,...
