The manufacture of fibrous scaffolds with tailored micrometric features and anatomically relevant three-dimensional (3D) geometries for soft tissue engineering applications remains a great challenge. Melt electrowriting (MEW) is an advanced additive manufacturing technique capable depositing predefined fibers. However, it has been so far inherently limited to simple planar tubular scaffold because the need avoid polymer jet instabilities. In this work, we surmount technical boundaries MEW...
Tissue engineering macroporous scaffolds are important for regeneration of large volume defects resulting from diseases such as breast or bone cancers. Another part the treatment these conditions is adjuvant drug therapy to prevent disease recurrence surgical site infection. In this study, we developed a new type that have loading and release functionality use in scenarios. 3D printing allows building with deterministically designed complex architectures tissue yet they often low surface...
Biodegradable coronary artery stents are sought-after alternatives to permanent stents. These devices designed degrade after the blood vessel heals, leaving behind a regenerated artery. The original generation of clinically available biodegradable required significantly thicker struts (∼150 μm) than nondegradable ones ensure sufficient mechanical strength. However, these proved be key contributor clinical failure A current challenge lies in fabrication that possess both thin and adequate In...
The quest for an advanced soft robotic actuator technology that is fast and can execute a wide range of application-specific tasks at multiple length scales still ongoing. Here, we demonstrate new design manufacturing strategy leads to high-speed inflatable actuators exhibiting diverse movements. Our approach leverages the concept miniaturisation reduce required volume fluid actuation as well fibre-reinforcement improve efficiency in converting delivered fluids into predictable movement. To...
This study leverages the advantages of two fabrication techniques, namely, melt-extrusion-based 3D printing and porogen leaching, to develop multiphasic scaffolds with controllable properties essential for scaffold-guided dental tissue regeneration. Polycaprolactone-salt composites are 3D-printed salt microparticles within scaffold struts leached out, revealing a network microporosity. Extensive characterization confirms that multiscale highly tuneable in terms their mechanical properties,...
The expected outcome after a scaffold augmented hernia repair is the regeneration of tissue composition strong enough to sustain biomechanical function over long periods. It hypothesised that melt electrowriting (MEW) medical-grade polycaprolactone (mPCL) scaffolds loaded with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) will enhance soft in fascial defects abdominal and vaginal sheep models. A pre-clinical evaluation reconstruction using mPCL mesh polypropylene (PP) meshes was undertaken an ovine model. Each...
Abstract The quest for an advanced soft robotic actuator technology that is fast and can execute a wide range of application-specific tasks at multiple length scales still ongoing. Here, we demonstrate new design strategy leveraging the concepts miniaturisation fibre-reinforcement to realize high-speed inflatable actuators exhibiting diverse movements. To fabricate designs, employ class additive manufacturing called melt electrowriting. We 3D printing microfibre architectures on elastomers...
