Chronic wounds, particularly those associated with diabetes mellitus, represent a growing threat to public health, additional notable economic impacts. Inflammation these wounds leads abnormalities in endogenous electrical signals that impede the migration of keratinocytes needed support healing process. This observation motivates treatment chronic stimulation therapy, but practical engineering challenges, difficulties removing hardware from wound site, and absence means monitor process...
Approaches to regenerating bone often rely on integrating biomaterials and biological signals in the form of cells or cytokines. However, from a translational point view, these approaches are challenging due sourcing quality biologic, unpredictable immune responses, complex regulatory paths, high costs. We describe simple manufacturing process material-centric 3D-printed composite scaffold system (CSS) that offers distinct advantages for clinical translation. The CSS comprises porous...
Gaze-based interaction has several benefits: naturalism, remote controllability, and easy accessibility. However, it been mostly used for screen-based with static information. In this paper, we propose a concept of gaze-based that augments the physical world social We demonstrate in shopping scenario. In-store is setting where information can augment environment to better support user's purchase decision. Based on ocular point, project following product its surrounding surface: collective...

Effective repair of large bone defects through tissue engineering (BTE) remains an unmet clinical challenge. Successful BTE requires optimal and synergistic interactions among biocompatible scaffolds, osteogenic factors, osteoprogenitors to form a highly vascularized microenvironment for regeneration osseointegration. We sought develop effective system by using 3D printed citrate-based mPOC/hydroxyapatite (HA) composites laden with BMP9-stimulated human urine stem cells (USCs). Specifically,...
