Self-filling microwell arrays hold great promise for the production of 3D tumor spheroids and organoids disease modeling drug discovery.
Abstract Proteins present an ecofriendly alternative to many of the synthetic components currently used in electronics. They can therefore combination with flexibility and electroactivity uncover a range new opportunities field flexible green In this study, silk‐based ionic conductors are turned into stable thin films by embedding them 2D nanoclay platelets. More specifically, material is utilized develop motion‐sensitive touchscreen device. The display‐like sensor readily transmit light,...
Systemically administered chemotherapy reduces the efficiency of anticancer agent at target tumor tissue and results in distributed drug to non-target organs, inducing negative side effects commonly associated with necessitating repeated administration. Injectable hydrogels present themselves as a potential platform for non-invasive local delivery vehicles that can serve slow-releasing depot fills vasculature, tissue, or resection cavities. Herein, we have systematically formulated tested an...
Characterizing the mechanical properties of engineered tissue constructs provides powerful insight into function tissues for their desired application. Current methods characterization soft hydrogels used in engineering are often destructive and ignore effect 3D bioprinting on overall a whole construct. This work reports using non-destructive method viscoelastic analysis to demonstrate influence strategy hydrogel scaffolds. Structure-function relationships developed common parameters such as...
Wound infection is a major clinical challenge that can significantly delay the healing process, create pain, and requires prolonged hospital stays. Pre-clinical research to evaluate new drugs normally involves animals. However, ethical concerns, cost, challenges associated with interspecies variation remain obstacles. Tissue engineering enables development of in vitro human skin models for drug testing. existing engineered are representative healthy its normal functions. This paper presents...
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of photo-cross-linkable hydrogel precursors has attracted great interest in various tissue engineering and drug screening applications, as the biochemical biophysical properties resultant structures can be tuned spatiotemporally to provide cells with physiologically relevant microenvironments. In particular, these bioinks benefit from biofunctional versatility that designed direct toward a desired behavior. Despite significant progress field, 3D printing...
Hydrogel-based bio-inks have been extensively used for developing three-dimensional (3D) printed biomaterials biomedical applications. However, poor mechanical performance and the inability to conduct electricity limit their application as wearable sensors. In this work, we formulate a novel, 3D printable electro-conductive hydrogel consisting of silicate nanosheets (Laponite), graphene oxide, alginate. The result generated stretchable, soft, but durable material suitable utilization novel...
In article number 1801241, Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz and co-workers develop an ultra-sensitive, but low-cost electrode with a broad range of exciting properties brought about through simple “design mixing procedure.” As examples, touch panel screen for use in foldable electronics human motion sensitive device are manufactured the electrode.
